OK
As a psychologist, my field is always screaming 'we are teh science 2!' so its very easy to see it there, but the stubborn refusal to believe anything untill it has been beaten to death is science in a nutshell. It is very unaccepting of anything revolutionary due to the mentallity that is engrained into people involved with it. But thats a philosophical argument which is for another thread.
