Open and free discussion is certainly a necessity. One must not allow those ideas which one considers to be true to cloud the ability to consider that the idea might need refinement or, indeed, be flawed. If a claimant says that a measurement was taken a certain way and was verified by others, a sceptic who is not a party to the experiment has no right to claim that the measurement is in error without observation or replication of the exact experiment.
