      .@neiltyson Does this also apply to decades of institutionalised specialisation in hard science practice and academia?

      No. People who think differently in the sciences, and are correct, become famous in their own lifetimes.

          .@neiltyson that's not what I asked. Besides, those people become famous because they are exceptions to the rule. So... Yes. It does apply.

          the behaviour of some scientists doesn't invalidate the whole scientific process, its foundation and its purpose

          Not saying it does. I'm saying process wasn't enough to avoid institutionalisation, group-think, and systemic biases.

          I don't see how it is incomplete and how it gives false promises. The method just exists as a guide to others
