This is why most scientific endeavors are at risk from DUmmythink: anything they agree with is sacrosanct, and inscrutable; anything with which they disagree cannot possibly be correct or valid, and is inherently flawed.
This used to be the way that children operated, and school existed to disabuse them of flawed thinking. Now, universities exist to BURNISH that childish manner of thinking, and we have, among other things, MSNBC as a result. And Bill Nye, who is not a "scientist," nor is anyone who self-applies the title "Science Guy."
