A rigid, ideological stance that conflates scientific methodology with the current institutional consensus, treating any challenge to the latter as heresy against the former. It's the belief that science is a monolithic repository of Final Truths rather than a fallible, ongoing process. This bigotry manifests as automatically venerating "official" sources while dismissing all heterodox thinkers, regardless of evidence or argument. It fails to recognize that many revolutionary ideas (germ theory, plate tectonics) began as "pseudoscience" outside the consensus, and that skepticism of institutional authority is sometimes warranted.
