Every social organization tries to defend itself.
Like string theory community.
This is a theory of Physics-a theory that tries to give a unified description of all of the interactions or forces of nature that are known to us.
And it is under attack from various quarters.
For example people who can not keep up with the fast pace of this field try to find fault in it. (And still keep trying to do something in this very same field-duplicity at a place where you least expect it!)
And that is all in deed.
Then there are string theory people who try to defend it.
Like Lubos Motl who had to quit academics because of his extra bold attitudes.
Here is one such attempt by him to defend academic standards.
