Somebody has seriously missed the point.

It's not science that nazism, it's an attitude of shutting down anything 
outside the main line of current understanding. It's acting as if it's

makes outlier's viewpoint look stronger than it might otherwise be.

An example of biting off one's nose, thingie.
