That’s definitely how many people here see themselves, but excessive scepticism can also be a problem, something which is overlooked by this crowd.

If you don’t push and help the many small steps that come before the big leap, many big leaps will never become feasible.

Over-hyping the small steps as big leaps is the problem. If the scientifically literate people here are sick of it, imagine what the voting public thinks.

“First time ind history fusion releases more energy that is put in” is a big leap. The fact that it’s still a technology in its infancy and decades away from actual use doesn’t make it any less impressive.
