I agree with this, and would add that those who view Science and Scientists as some sort of elite club or gang that cannot be joined should consider the possibility that he or she was denied membership simply because he or she is a poor practitioner of science.
On a side note, we should not be using psychology and psychiatry interchangeably. They are NOT the same. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor and is legally able to prescribe drugs. A psychologist is not. Psychiatry is considered a "hard science" while psychology is considered a "soft science".
