I think a lot of the "Scientists" don't realize that:
1) Just because something is published in a scientific journal doesn't mean it's always true.
2) Even if the conclusions from the scientific article are true, they might be true only under their experimental conditions. Rubbing two pieces of metal together in a lab vs. actual conditions inside an engine.
Then there's the other extreme
"here's my posit. It's true because it's my posit, and it feels like it should be right, and any facts that you might bring to the table are pure obfuscation"
Without even an expenriment to prove it.
And there's the fanboi
"XXXXXXXX just positied the above posit, and because it feels right, it must be true, and he tried XXX in his Ferrarri and nothing blew up, proving it".
