It's interesting how there's a downright fear of hearing the other side. Like maybe he's wrong about the colorblindness but then why not just disprove that? 

We're not talking about an inherently offensive idea here, just someone arguing that the current approach might not be the best one.

Basically the reaction makes me wonder if people really are offended by the idea or more offended by the suggestion that they could be wrong

Traditional scientific method: Propose a hypothesis, gather evidence, arrive at conclusions, encourage testing of conclusions by others, hopefully arrive at best estimation of truth. Rinse, repeat to the betterment of human understanding.

Millennial scientific method: Create truth, cherry pick evidence to support truth, declare end of need for research, question morals of anyone who dares to test declared truth. End. Human understanding doesn't need to be bettered because of my feelings.
