Crying over the amount of spilt ink doesn’t have that much epistemic relevance. That your particle accelerator cost X million dollars doesn’t make it produce better data. Truth can be frustrating and unfair in that sense.
If a single naive person can say “The emperor has no clothes” and all the epistemics come falling down, maybe they should come falling down. With solid deconfusion even if a single authority figure says “I am not convinced” the solace from the work itself should be plenty.
This plea that the issue should be handled in the tone of seriousness seems like a bad application of social pressure. We shouldn’t need swearing on bibles. Using the role of constituting community beliefs as social-versus game value chips seems bad.
