The confirmation bias and dismissiveness is present on both sides. I think it’s hypocritical to believe that this isn’t being done by all (myself & you guys too). The question is complex and one has see value in all supported opinions. But instead discrediting is in vogue
With respect, this isn’t about confirmation bias or dismissiveness.

Respectfully, on a deeper subconscious level it is and we all do it. When emotion creeps in, this is what happens. To use words like “egregious” typifies that. It’s understandable as one can’t respond to everyone and everything as there isn’t enough time or patience to do so.https://twitter.com/skepticalzebra/status/1376237093798752265 …

Do we? Oddly enough, I thought Oster's article was not bad overall, but she did make some epidemiological errors, in particular the analogy. Perhaps it should say "economists shouldn't write about epidemiology (without talking to some epis along the way)"
That being said, if I were to write a lengthy piece about how the latest financial crisis impacted children, and I made economic errors, do you think economists would shrug and say "oh well, most of the article is fine"?
