Karl,

Rather than assume that scholars are all naturalist Nazis, it may just be
worth engaging with the ideas they put forward. Scholarship is a
conversation. The academy is an Areopagus —a marketplace where ideas are
traded, evaluated, synthesised, and occasionally 'purchased' for integration.
Sure, there are peddlers hawking wares down blind alleys, but no matter how
loud they shout, they won't be taken seriously until they come into the
square and conduct a conversation.

Of course, some peddlers couldn't care less. They're happy playing with the
toys they've made for themselves.
