No, it isn’t sociopathy. I, for instance, tried to engage with Sabine Hossenfelder on a novel interpretation of electron diffraction which would help demonstrate linear time-invariance of electromagnetic phenomena in an atomic scale (nickel crystal) only to be completely ignored - despite the fact she posts on her blog a “speak to a physicist” button. In fact, the physicist she paired me with failed to appear to two scheduled Skype calls and explained he was too sick after the fact. And no response from her. So here I am, with ignored emails by professors because they don’t have the bandwidth and I don’t have the branding.
Physicists by trade do not trade on advancing the state of the art. That takes courage and risk of reputation. This is why the natural sciences have progressed outside of vocations. “Lead then to what’s new” is better worded as “make it shameful to ignore you”. I am acutely aware of that now.
