Sorry for replying so late.

Your findings have to be accepted by the others. If they're not accepted it's like they don't exist. Think of all the great theories that didn't take off at first, because nobody accepted them (for various reasons).

When you attack someone, they are less likely to listen to you, even if you are offering valuable feedback. They care about saving face, so they will focus on defending themselves.

I realize this can be frustrating, because it means truth doesn't always prevail. However, it's what we have to work with, our emotional brains.
