okay, but you don't think that who is allowed to perform the testing, and who is excluded from the process, makes any difference whatsoever to the reliability of the results?

I think this effect is minimal.

What is much more relevant is that having *hypotheses* proposed from only one viewpoint is much more likely to miss other relevant interpretations of the data. The more people from different backgrounds and training that can look at the data and propose ideas to explain it, the faster the process will converge to a workable, tested system.
