Yes but building a movement around something that is incorrect and
potentially divisive in intself may be acceptable in the first instance as a
reaction, antithesis as it were but to continue with it in the face of
contrary logic for the sake of it is not entirely useful and risks
discrediting that movement for failing to move on and relocate itself in
current terms.
In other ways by way of analogy, one does not have to be catholic in ones
opposition to orthodoxy. To suppose that there is a uniform catholic
opposition to the medical models orthodoxy is simply wrong. Most people tend
not to support pre Copernican astronomy, but that does not mean that Newtons
rules were beyond criticism and forever correct either.
