***It doesn't matter that they're a small minority, it matters whether or not they are arguing from the facts using the scientific method. When Richard Feynman was pushing his subatomic theory, he was the only one for a while. It turned out he was right, and the accepted evidence against his position was wrong. Using your line of reasoning, we would deny him the voice (and the consequent Nobel Prize) because he was such a small minority.
