In 'fringe' research there are a lot of unconventional free-thinking people with minds of their own. This makes it difficult to 'hold things together'. The status quo is obviously hugely problematic...but there is a lot of momentum and established organization. The innovative and enthusiastic people who are out of the mainstream...lack this momentum and organization. What you have observed may very well be the modus operandi of new thought...for the next few years. Eventually...the new thinking will be mainstream...and the next generation of free-thinkers will be fighting with the custodians of the new status quo (some of us maybe).
