Trying to change a misunderstanding about science, sounds like a cultural issue to me.

That one, or a few, persons want to correct a misunderstanding about science is not the what the great majority of scientists do for a living, nor does it characterize science. So, to say that the battle between ID proponents and evolutionary scientists is nothing more than a cultrual war (which you have asserted) miss-characterizes science.

Sure, no problem. It would just help the public understand what the scientist are up to.

The scientist have to stop what they are doing and confront the ID proponents, mostly for self preservation, that is to secure their funding, their funding being generally provided by the public. Public funding leads to cultural issues.
