Some scientists do profit from science "facts" (theories that remain to be proven) and get stuck in academic ruts that lead nowhere.
Maintaining creativity is difficult in today's world.
Creativity is frequently punished severely to teach others to accept the established theories
as fact and that no other theory need be explored.

Consider:
A few crop circles were left behind by extraterrestial visitors to earth. (Alien seems to mean earthling from another country today)
Accepting this as fact would violate the established view that life on earth is the only life in the universe.
Accepting this as fact would violate the established view that the earth is located at the center of the universe because the only
. universe that exists is the universe we can see and, therefore, is spherical in shape with earth at the center.

The "establishment" does not want that view to change.
The extraterrestial visitors to earth do not want that view to change.
Some of their resident observers create "man-made" crop circles.
Copy cat fashion circles are created by earth creatures.
When time passes and people are taking all circles seriously some creators of "man-made" circles
. reveal their crop circles to be man-made discrediting all circles, real and man-made, as hoaxes.

The joke's on you, earthlings, have a nice day, LOL.
