I don't want to be the part of scientific

Zlatiborian.
Well, I can understand your grudge here to some
degree, because I've experienced similar situations at
Wikipedia before, were a majority (which is not even
the case with Zlatiborian, btw) was supporting some
standpoint that was utter nonsense from a scientific
perspective. And I thought (note: thought!): "How can
anyone be that ignorant?"
However, it is an essential feature of all Wikimedia
projects that they are not closed circles for some
academics but open projects were everybody is free to
participate as long as they obey certain rules. Of
course, that doesn't mean that we don't strive for the
highest possible degree of scientific accuracy but it
necessarily implies that discussions sometimes take a
slightly different course than they would within a
scientific community. I think everybody who has been
participating here for a while is aware of that - and
the good news is: in the long run, "the truth" almost
always prevails. No need to question the project
altogether, I think.
