Consensus does not make for good science. It just happens that the current consensus supports your personal views so you like it. If the consensus was against your views you would not be so happy. I prefer hard core science, consensus be damned. Science is not a popularity contest.
As to the other answers, they're just Me-Taoism: the argument that my culture did it to, did it earlier, did it better. It's as bad as political correctness.
