Disagreement is not automatic grounds for a science conspiracy to lazily suppress knowledge from the public.
ID'ers love to shout that they are summarily dismissed just because scientists disagree with them and won't give them the time of day, yet they never manage to produce the articles that were 'rejected.'
We learn new shit every day and some scientist or other is bound to disagree with it. If things weren't validated despite personal opinions we wouldn't have any advancement. Scientists are also human, but I'd be willing to wager the ridiculously small amount of money I have in my bank account that not all of them have the middle school self-esteem or mindset that would cause them to reject a piece of information just because they disliked it. People do occasionally mature and work for the betterment of humanity and knowledge.
