Academics and industry professionals alike seem to think their field of study is correct while others are outdated or wrong. I completely get where the frustration comes from as there has been a lot of hype in many fields which is being pushed by people who aren't really apart of any field. Kaggle and towards data science come to mind however there are a long list of textbooks as well. The frustrating part though is the lack of understanding in what unifies all of us which is the scientific method. The scientific method is designed to challenge ideas and come up with better ones while adhering to a rigorous set of logic and testing.
