I have a lot of problems with a lot of the so-called "scientific" community today. For many of the reasons you shared.

There are many people using the labels science, and scientists when they are unworthy of the labels due to failure to follow the scientific method. They become more dogma, an political.

Asking questions is good.

That doesn't mean the question was genius.

Yet we should be able to ask questions, and encouraged to do so.
