My pet example is how the field of economics, which could be studied in a scientific way, has turned into a set of belief systems which are adhered to in a religious way; no amount of failed predictions is allowed to impact the entrenched theories, and other theories are seen as "evil". Reviews are done only within the specific economic church, because outsiders aren't considered "peers" but "lost sheep". I'm not just talking about main-stream economics here, it applies first and foremost to the economic theories defended religiously on Steemit.
