Fortunately science is not about being able to dance with people in a conversation or showmanship of any sort - it's about making falsifiable hypotheses and then carrying out experiments to test them. It requires a lot of tedious work where you have to convince your peers that your ideas are solid and worthy of publication. If someone fails to do that, maybe, just maybe, the reason is not a vast conspiracy against this person because his ideas are too powerful and academia too stupid to see the truth, but rather the ideas could just be wrong.
