You and Chomsky are probably the last 2 persons on earth to believe that.

It wouldn't matter if they are both right. Social truth is not reality, and scientific consensus is not reality either (just a good proxy of "is this true", but its been shown to be wrong many times - at least based on a later consensus, if not objective experiments).

Nah. There are whole communities that maintain a baseless, but utterly confident dismissive stance. Look in /r/programming, for example.
