"Scientists should not feel pressured to discuss their deliberations outside this particular forum."

Then I'm sorry that's is not science, science is based on discussion and the possibility to falsify ones conclusion.

So you are countering that people should be pressured to discuss deliberations?

Science or not, you shouldn’t even feel forced to discuss what you had at lunch yesterday, no matter how many billions are at stake for corporations.

As you say, this is science, there is absolutely no reason to attack the people, when you can provide independent scientific evidence to support your own conclusion which might be counter to their. Then it becomes a question of evaluating the evidence, not evaluating the people.

Scientists should be able to discuss their deliberations without intimidation or fear in either direction.

If a scientist deliberates to reach a conclusion that they choose not to explain it's fine: we just need to ignore it.

There is no reason to argue that "scientists should be pressured to discuss their deliberations", which seems like the argument you are making.
