Better use some care in calling it suppression, since in a debate the
obvious countermove is to expose you as a crackpot by labeling you as a
"conspiracy theorist."  Only conspiracy theorists make the mistake of
complaining about suppression.  Suppression is common in science, but
professional scientists have learned never to use that word.

Thinking in terms of herd-mentality, perhaps any use of the word
"Suppression" is a signal that allows the herd to identify and eject any
disguised outsiders hiding within the herd membership.  Speak the word
"suppression" and the immune system of science builds a protective wall
around you.

Now if the immune system of science was really on the ball, it would use
its resources to build protective walls around anyone who thinks and acts
like Robert Park and similarly dangerous science-toxins.
