Technical gatekeeping is a thing, and definitely a problem at times. This is particularly problematic when dealing with concepts that aren't fully understood, even by their originators, as these might contain valuable insights despite their apparent strangeness. The risk of losing out on potentially groundbreaking perspectives must be weighed against the importance of scientific integrity. To address this, the technical community could benefit from fostering more open dialogue, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration, and creating spaces where speculative ideas can be explored without immediate judgment.
