Your observance is correct, unfortunately I suspect you're getting downvoted due to "tone" (and railing against the current hero cult never goes well anyways).

Your observance is correct, unfortunately I suspect you're getting downvoted due to "tone" (and railing against the current hero cult never goes well anyways). Hero complexes work when an individual can make broad effective change. They don't work in situations requiring heavy cooperation and coordination. Science is a cooperative field. As is law enforcement and medicine. (Teaching may be a bit different - a lone good teacher can make a difference but you need enough cooperation still).
