They’re pretty well dug in. The good news is that the places they’re dug in — mainstream media and the academy, are about to collapse and become disintermediated by the Internet.

The data fudging, the demonization of doubters, the knee-jerk rejection of alternate hypotheses, the quest for funding, the travel to exotic locations, the pal review, the left-wing politics, the fear of debate, the swagger in the early days, then the panic as the skeptics closed in–it’s all there.
