| Spending your life's work on a theory that is widely agreed to be untestable is certainly a form of ego, or at least is more philosophy than science. |

| This is a pretty silly belief to hold about science. Plenty of strong, well held standards of the modern era were considered ridiculous fringe beliefs a century ago. |

(thinking of black holes for example - they were theorized way before we had observations. And presumably a lot of particle physics can similarly be theorized before we built the technology to experimentally verify them) |
