The usual fate of those who care more about the data than the herd-meme of the
moment. For a good example of this in action, those who are unfamiliar with
the work of Barbara McClintock should try looking her up. (She actually
stopped publishing because the reception given to her work was so negative.)
(In honour of the thread, I have carefully picked a female example. Is that
being sensitive, or patronizing? Left as an exercise for the reader...)
