A big problem is we have gone from Feynman saying "science is the disbelief in experts" to "What experts say is true right now is the science".

Even Feynman wrote about having to deal with cranks who sent him letters in which the authors thought they had disproved relativity or something. Everybody's opinion isn't equal in science.
