soooo these ‘scientists really are afraid of counterviews and opinions and facts then huh? What? The scientist’s work can’t defend itself? Their work needs to be protected by shutting down any dissenting voices?
Is that how science works now?
At one time the consensus of scientist believed the Earth was flat; the sun revolved around the Earth; and those who refused to tote the line were told to shut up, were imprisoned, or worse.
So Science hasn’t really evolved that much after all.
