What bothers me with this kind Of culture is that it quickly becomes a gatekeeper for ideas you don’t like. Like an idea? Push for it without data. Don’t like an idea? Ask for more data.

Excellent point and potentially good material for a separate post - I totally agree. On that note almost any kind of culture can be (mis)used to create gatekeepers.
