even if someone IS ego driven, if the justification is scientific or evidence based then It doesnt Matter too much. Science is the antidote to ego, not morality

Unfortunately that is not true. Science is made by humans. And we humans have egos. A big enough ego will make us not see evidence even if it hits us in the face.

And that's why the proverb about scientific progress goes "science advances one funeral at a time" :)
