In the face of such obstacles, several strategies are
available, which include mimicking science, aiming
at lower status outlets, enlisting patrons, seeking a
different audience, exposing suppression of dissent,
and building a social movement.
I would say that anyone who is advising someone proposing an
unpopular theory to scientists to "mimic science" is not coming at
the problem from a scientific perspective.
And to argue that science has an "entrenched power structure," is
only looking at half the situation, and then from a very jaundiced
perspective. Science is conservative, as well it should be.
That's my $0.02 worth. I have better things to do with my time than
to read the ranting of an outsider, who, if your quoting of him is
characteristic, has little if any understanding or appreciation of
how science works. Its shades of Joe Newman all over again.
