Ever heard the phrase "Science progresses one funeral at time"? Who do you think coined that phrase? Hint: It wasn't trash collectors.
If scientists were really as open-minded and ego free as you claim, they wouldn't spend their lives defending work from their youth.
I think the quote is alluding to capital 'S' scientist rather than a particular group of humans. In theory a Scientist's cause to be correct, while human scientists want to be right.
