Are scientists so proud of their "Invincibility" that they seldom listen to Common people's ideas?

Scientists are people too. No more opinionated than a historian for example. By training they are more open minded than others, because science has a way of pulling the rug from under the feet of any one with a new hypothesis. They are short on faith and blind acceptance. They want to validate things objectively.
Of course there are exceptions. Quite a few scientists trying to do the dirty on each other just like people in general.
Engineers are scientists too, with similar foibles.
We should get rid of the idea that scientists are a special breed. They are common people too, like you and me (well, I do belong to the other category as well).

One example is the Battle of Currents between Edison (champion of DC) and Westinghouse.

I can recollect how the Einstien (who was the intiator of the idea of quatum physics) in later stages of life, just dismissed its existence in his pursuit to 'find' a unified theory.

If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.

An invention's significance lies in its ability to solve problems.
