[[Actually I wonder how many scientists have one view in public and another in private.]]

Could be, could be fear or intimidation or peer pressure.

But whatever the cause, science is not as rowdy in open debate among scientists as say, philosophy or politics or religion. There are disagreements to be sure but, in my view, the positions are not as opposing and/or deeply held.
