This is far preferable to the situations caused by the removal of freedom of speech. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," as the saying goes. I may be forced to defend some people who make my blood boil, but that's one of the prices you have to pay to avoid being censored.
Admittedly, I wouldn't be especially sad if people with no formal training in a scientific field were required to place a disclaimer stating that after all statements about that scientific field, but that wouldn't stop them from saying stuff, it would just make it clear that they aren't experts.
