Again, I am not quite sure what you uneducated folk think happens when you walk through those doors, but as the article you posted on neocon think tanks so eloquently stated, academia has checks and balances. You dont become a phd and a leader in your field by just making shit up. The entire process is nothing but defending yourself from nonstop attacks on your theories or arguments. Trust me my dearest Serge, if someone tries to spit out bullshit statistics or crackpot science, someone will be there to ram it up their ass, THAT is what academia is in a nutshell. A bunch of nerds doing their best to discredit and destroy someone elses lifes work. Checks and balances.

If you accepted it, even with 40 years studies credit to his work
Is it possible that many others have?
While there is much critical thinking involved how much "gladhanding and backslapping" may go on? Every coin has 3 sides
and one of my favorite sayings to quote
"Lies, damn lies and statistics"
