Do vested interests hold back progress?

Do vested interests hold back progress?

The three member coalition that come together to shout down any views
on double star observing that differed from their own seems to be in
some disarray. However their inability to put together a concise, well
reasoned or scientifically valid justification for their position
remain unchanged.

One relies on personal attacks as his only means of communication, one
has an undeclared conflict of interest and one stated in consecutive
emails that I should take expert advice but that experts often differ!
Hardly the pick of the academic crop then!

The appearance of serious irregularities in the current system seems
to me to be beyond any dispute and the failure of the so-called
"professionals" to respond to questions doesn't help their cause.
