Scientists may be open to new ideas, but are not by any means paragons of universal open minded acceptance. This is heavily exaggerated in fiction. What do a peerage of scientists do when presented with amazing or disturbing theories that could seriously change everyone's worldview and/or revolutionize science by one of their fellows? Do they test out the theory themselves, analyze it thoroughly, or interview their fellow scientist in an effort to find any truth in his "wild" theories or disabuse him of them before he goes crackpot?
