in which science is offering answers no one can understand without years of college, and are unwilling or unable to show where it is interesting and fun, but instead stress the amount of work needed to come to any understanding.
And then become angered with journalists who report it wrong. This is something I've been thinking a bit about recently as well. However, I don't see it as being due to "elitist scientists" as much as the general public not really giving a shit about science. Science is boring to most
Americans. Hell, half the country will tell you that science is bullshit and "the devil".
