Of course it is... All fields of science have dogma's. It's the very reason why science progresses one funeral at the time.... Also, no living soul has time to read all the papers that are pooped out by all the worlds scientists, so the shortcut is to fall back on "people in the known" AKA you can pick whom you want to believe. Of course a rational person will say he picked a source because trustworthiness, not because he or she liked that person...
