Just as an aside, the bolded truly puzzles me so presented as a standard for academia.
It is completely at odds with the spirit of scholarly and scientific research which teaches us to question all manner of social dogma.
Professors and scientists do reject some views and theories as unacceptable, but they don't reach such determinations by ignoring context or "education level on a specific subject."
