Appeal to authority is a big reason. The academic leaders in the field were incentivized to find breakthroughs, or to treat any experiment they ran as a breakthrough, because that’s where their influence and reputation came from. People are so used to trusting experts that they didn’t realize that finding the truth wasn’t the primary motivator for some people. |
