Something something field advances one funeral at a time.

The strongly held opinions of “senior” people in academics and sciences are defended for the sake of ego and maybe funding, and that blocks the ability of outside information and questions that could change those ideas.

Wonder what the pass/fail rate is for things like this. How many “facts” are toppled quickly after a defender’s demise.
