That's pretty much the problem. Academia is a bunch of people arguing to figure out how things work. They order a pizza and then argue on the toppings or spices.
Instead, we have social pressure and politics. That's usually a sign that's something up. If the teachers just mimic what the staff want, nothing new gets introduced or challenged or even learned.
We end up stagnating because people were unwilling to be challenged, or torn apart by evidence. They want to be called scientists l, but are unwilling to do science.
We really do have social pressure. Last night I thought I'd say hello to some old friends in a voice chat who I hadn't talked to in a very long time. Not five minutes into the small talk one of them said "Did you get your vaccine yet!?!?!?"
This dude is a long time friend, but he's also a "liberal techie." So I simply said "No." When they asked what I'm waiting on, I just didn't say anything. Fortunately another friend broke the silence with "I'm getting my next vaccine on Saturday..." and nobody cared that I never gave an answer.
Had I told them that I had no plans to get one, the conversation would have turned really sour real fast.
"it to go through the full multi-year FDA approval process instead of a basic Emergency Use Authorization"
"I prefer to DIY and have my immune system make my own vaccine. "
