It's not necessary to be a "brainwashed fool" to be proved wrong. Or are you implying that intelligence and education are synonymous with infallibility? If you are implying that "all" of them can't be wrong at the same time, maybe you should read something about the history of scientific revolutions, and also consider that actually there isn't all of them which agree with SR. Some of them are not brainwashed enough, it seems.
That last phrase was intended as a joke. So, don't accuse me of "conspiracy theorist".
