To understand this you should think about the people behind science as 
human beings.

Human beings like wealth, power and status.

And former scientists climb the social ledder atuomatically, once they 
remain at their position in the system called 'academia' and get older.

The result of this is, that all people in the 'scientific community' are 
more or less conservatives and hate, if any changes were made upon the 
basis of their own life as a scientists.


Since it gets more difficult to learn with an age beyond, say, seventy, 
the people at the top of the hierarchy of 'academia' are essentially 
against any change in the set of laws, which we regard as proven facts.

Most would rather commit suicide than acknowledge an own error.

Therefore, the entire system cannot make any progress, because it gets 
stuck into a position, where its main members reject any changes with 
all the powers they have.

To even try any changes is actually suicide for any young scientist, who 
is brave enough to try.

That's why acceptance is impossible.

You siomply need to wait for a few new generations and promote better 
options in the meantime.
