"Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary,
      requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which
      means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference
      to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is
      relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history
      are great precisely because they broke with the consensus."
