She presumably has Semmelweis Reflex, claiming mine is unscientific primarily because it contradicts her work. My informatics professor Franjo Jović, my mathematics professor Tomislav Rudec and my computer science professor Alfonso Baumgartner all think there is something to my work.
So, you showed your linguistics work experts in informatics, mathematics, computer science, and linguistics, and - out of those four - the expert in the subject matter was the one who found your work problematic.
Isn’t that rather like designing an engine and showing it to a pastry chef, a librarian, a physician and an engineer, then getting upset at the engineer who rejects your design?
I do agree, though, that someone in your story has Semmelweis Syndrome, I just don’t think you’ve pinpointed which one.

I think informatics has at least as much to say about names of places as linguistics does. My work is mainly about informatics, with some linguistics.
