The basic thing wrong with the view that scientist conspire to protect evolution is that theories are not overturned by arguments and review articles. Theories are overturned by the slow accretion of ill-fitting data -- the kind that ID would provide if ID scientists actually did research instead of writing review articles.
It is ill-fitting data that makes careers more often than blinding insights.
The head of the snake has been cut off by irreducible complexity and information theory, we're just watching it squirm right now.
