Majority vote in determining truth is the venue of the liberal arts
(English, History, Cello), not science. It is totally irrelevant how many
scientist support or deny a claim.

In a forum such as this, it does indicate that advocates of the less
accepted positions have their work cut out.

The world and the Internet have advocates for a tremendous amount of
wild ideas. It is reasonable to demand more support for the less
mainstream ideas before accepting that they might be correct. Of
course, once they have such evidence, scientists accept them and they
become mainstream.
