It can be a deceptive euphemism for narrow critical-of-all-other-views
thinking.

From Socrates:

However the pure logic of Aristotle crippled science for 2000 years:

Because of him we didn't advance beyond the Romans until 1700~1800.

It is unfair to blame that on Aristotle alone. The main problem was that his
conclusions were incorporated into the dogma of the church. As Galilleo
among many others found out, the church did not like anyone questioning
their dogma.

This is a little ironic because one of the things Aristotle got right was
that things are not necessarily so just because someone in a high position
says they are.
