You have it right on here. The behavior of the 'intelligent left' (I use the term intelligent loosely) has been to stifle the ideas of others that conflict with their own. Science, such as art, is fluid and dynamic. Any fool that says something is proved beyond a doubt or unquestionable because of empirical data has never done a real experiment in their life.
A lot of what we know scientifically is based on incomplete mathematical models that break down under certain instances, are incomplete, or are derived from a series of data points some lonely bastard graduate student collected in a stinking basement (while drunk/hungover). People who argue a point instead of comparing facts and collecting more data are just bad scientists, and in my opinion more of a politico than a technologist.
I thought science was about observation and reason? How can silencing more information (as the opinion and views of someone who is well respected in their field) be part of part of our observation of life en total?
