"Of course there is. It is called peer pressure. "
I am afraid you forget that successfully bucking this peer pressure and the scientific consensus is the shortest path to the top flight of any scientific field - like winning a big jackpot in a lottery. Many try, but it takes much more than lottery luck to be a winner, so there are preciously few such winners.

Maybe in Hollywood movies or in "hard sciences" like physics.
