Thanks for the well reasoned reply. I did not go to the extent of looking to the original article in Science Magazine. You are right, everyone seems to be writing only to get their own viewpoint in front of people and not to give both sides a clear and fair hearing.
By the way, The ScienceTM is a sarcastic criticism of those, like Fauci that claim that they and only they do science in the correct manner. It is not meat to criticize science in general because most scientists do not do The ScienceTM but they do do science, if you get my drift.
I also have a bone to pick over the way traditional journals do business. They seem to be organized to only publish the current paradigm of whatever subject matter they cover. There is no place for new ideas in a strictly peer reviewed system, and that is the reason it is set up in that way. I guess that is why is is said that the changing of the paradigm only comes after all of the old paradigm professors die off.
In the end, we think quite alike. People on both sides are not that different. Not good of me to think in terms of sides when i think of it.
Ok, thanks for clarifying the ScienceTM thing. I did not catch that sarcastic nuance.
Yeah, change usually happens with a next generation taking over. Few people are capable of change themselves. Not only in the context of science.

Everyone has too many sunk investments in whatever theory that they are pursuing and professing. That one fact, alone, makes it very difficult to change course and thought patterns. Giving up on sunk costs is one of the most difficult things to do for most people, especially if you have put in years and years sinking those costs. The investments were too great to just walk away from when presented with another idea.

Very true. Sunk cost is incredibly strong.

Often the sunk costs are so overwhelming that even having many meals together and being close friends will not overcome the past investments in reputation and knowledge. It is a difficult process.
