AFAIKR, the discussion was that the community spent such a long time debating who to accept into their great societies and communities, and where one bad word from a big kahuna could essentially end your career (i've seen that one happen to a friend of my fathers), alongside all the terratorial bias about who does what and when e.t.c
As you suggest, I don't think that such behaviors are unique to scientists. I think what you describe are weaknesses of all people, regardless of their chosen professions.
