A person's reputation is irrelevant to the scientific analysis of his proposition.
This isn't a technocracy.
In a democratically-run society, particularly one run on "Town Meeting" democratic principles, reputation may have nothing to do with "scientific analysis" of a proposition but it has a lot to do with whether said proposition will ever be adopted.

Politics is messy that way.
