I think, in general, I find some of academic's dogma a bit off-putting. I always approach things in the most classical sense--that is, everything is relatively true. Not to dismiss empirical data though. For example, people seem entrenched in saying dark matter is X or will do Y, but even people who helped discover its possibility say to be cautious of making such statements. When people come out and say it's not definitive in its existence (yet), they tend to get lambasted. I know there is always politics and evangelizing in every human situation, but my childhood notions of a pure method/approach seem a bit jaded now. Perhaps, some of the softer sciences need to study inter-academic hard science ;)
