the answer is simple.
The question is why does this work? Why are conservatives able to consistently attack science and win?
The answer is simple; learning is hard work as was pointed out in the Message 1.

I would like to point out that a lot of scientists treat average nonscientists as less than valuable to their work. That creates an alienation of the common man, 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.
Well the average non-scientist IS less valuable to their work and what science is doing DOES require years of college (or other specialized learning) to even understand.
It's not arrogance to point that out, it is simply a statement of fact.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
