"They love overthrowing old ideas" Yeah as long as they are the ones doing it..! "Today's "fringe" is tomorrow's freedom fighter!" It has an odour of bullsh*t* like Roddenberry's "wish fulfilment" of warp drive over that of Herbert's "mental(/spiritual), space-folding"! ..but if science (and therefore "scientists"), only exist for you post Enlightenment there can be no fundamental paradigm shifts in science...for there wasn't any.. ..etc. etc. et.al reductio ad absurdum, ad nauseam.. "Conventionalists" love to describe "the opposition" as anti-rational....the stupid amongst the opposition collude in this...both are wrong..both are scared...there is nothing anti-rational (or "illogical"), about the non-standard model...(like life can be "standardised" and is not an near impossibility only made possible by the emergence of consciousness*..!), .. *Linguistically correct I would say..
