>Also, you don't understand that science is a process, based on evidence, and revision is an essential part of that process?

I do, and the process is exactly the point. That human emotions affect the process far more often than we like to admit. Not always, but it's not completely removed from the process by any means.

In each of those cases, it's that no one says, "Oh, new theory, new evidence. Cool, let's test the hell out of it!"

People in positions of relative power sometimes say, "New theory? Nope. Not even going to look at it. No, in fact, you're crazy and you're wrong and get outta here!"

In each of those examples, to some degree the eventual more accurate theory met emotional resistance by people adhering to the status quo, not resistance because of questionable data or poor research methods or non-reproducibility.
