When skeptics do examine the data and present it they are discounted not because the “societies” necessarily disagree but because change is not in their skill set. They are comfortable with their operating system and will “creatively” discount facts that make them uncomfortable.
A main reason why things don’t change in “societies” (politics, business, education) is that those at the top don’t pay a high enough price for their mistakes.
