Re: Freedom of expression and thought (none / 0)
I would argue that in some circles, if you offer a sensible argument against the consensus you will get into trouble.

I think you are absolutely correct, and it's not just outside the scientific community but within. I'm not saying trouble always means being burned at the stake, but history even in the last century is full of nasty conflicts over differing theories within the scientific community. It's just human nature.
