Certainly, but that doesn't negate the fact that we need "outliers" to progress.
I think of the Australian doctor, Barry Marshall, who discovered that helicobacter was a cause of peptic ulcers, and how long it took for him to convince the medical establishment. And Dr. Timothey Noakes (South Africa) and Dr. Gary Fettke (Australia) have both had to fight organized resistance to their ideas. Dr. Noakes won a court case, and Dr. Fettkes was later exonerated of "nutritional malpractice." None of these people are whack jobs, but principled professionals who wouldn't shut up and go away.
