This is the the thing about Science - it’s about the data, not the person. Of course, because it involves people, it’s easier for a prominent scientist to get a controversial new hypothesis accepted, but in the end it comes down to whether the data support the hypothesis.
See: Linus Pauling, he went down the batshit “mega doses of vitamin C cures colds and other shit” path. People still believe that shit.
