I have no idea what you're trying to argue beyond "people don't like being told what to do, even by people who are generally experts, and know what probably good for them." I mean, I get that people don't like being told what to do -- I don't like being told what to do -- but it's part of being an adult to accept that you might not know what's best, and sometimes you ought listen to people who have dedicated their lives to the issues at hand. I think a lot of this probably has to do with religious impulses, which, to some extent, require believers to reject empiricism and the scientific basis for knowledge, again, to a degree.
