Being from a long family of natural scientists (my grandfather was a physics professor, my father applied mathematics) the rooting out of error in the natural sciences can be even more difficult.

Take for example Einstein’s special relativity—in the 1920–30s Tesla openly rejected it because it gave results different from what he discovered in the lab. Later it was shown that errors in computing for the original 1905 experiment invalidated the results, that when corrections are applied then Special Relativity comes out a distant second, and apparently there are several other problems as well. But those who disagree are all “cranks” to be swept under the rug.

That’s just physics. See http://www.worldnpa.org/php/MemberListNotables.php

At least here disagreement is out in the open and can be debated.
