But seriously, scientists can be dicks. They can even be wrong. They regularly are, until they all get together, gather evidence, and find the right answer. Which they do. Regularly, on things like climate change, for example.
But no, something something liberal leftists.
My main problem is finding examples of researchers admitting to an institutional problem when it comes to criticising peers.
Essentially, the way it works is everyones concerned with getting funding, and don't want to make an enemy and hurt their chances of being approved..
Which doesn't mean the whole thing should be thrown out, but it definately has issues.
Just look at mental health sciences, and you'll find things that make you wonder if that particular institution is less science, and more cult ala scientology, where nobody ever tells the Emperor they have no clothes on..
