Not being able to express your idea without intense backlash is a pretty strong signal you might be wrong.

Of course, there are many exceptions to this in history.

I agree about the backlash, just not the mean. Banishment and censorship is 1) a very harsh punishment for what is basically wrong think, 2) doesn't actually fix the problem, it just moves it to a darker place.
