Scientists do get into it - when they are trying to change the route of
mathematics or physics. A room of 100 or so highest level Mathematical
and Physics and one of them floats a new or different idea there is some
fun time, not nasty not angry but pressing both sides to understand why
and why they didn't think of it first.

How can we know until the debate has taken place? That is the reason
FOR the debate.

Debate is not a suitable tool for science. The questions science
considers, are NEVER closed. No resolution after a set of
back-and-forth-speeches, lasting a few minutes or hours, carries
any scientific authority whatsoever.

That means no scientist is likely to take an interest in such a debate.
