Chapter 9: <strong>The</strong> Thought Experiment<br />
<strong>The</strong>se 8 - If a holder <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice in a field <strong>of</strong> academic science should misuse his or her power and influence in<br />
order to maintain secrecy with respect to such an exclusion <strong>of</strong> critical minority viewpoints from the specialist field<br />
already undertaken, and should even deliberately extenuate the situation to include the powerhouses <strong>of</strong> the publicopinion-forming<br />
process in the editorial staffs <strong>of</strong> the journalistic, the print and the electronic mass media, the<br />
publishers and the educational system, then a bringing-into-line <strong>of</strong> the reporting branches would have been<br />
organized and the unsuspecting public would have been deceived as to the true condition <strong>of</strong> the specialist field <strong>of</strong><br />
science.<br />
<strong>The</strong>sis 9 - <strong>The</strong> abolition <strong>of</strong> the basic right <strong>of</strong> scientific freedom through complete expulsion <strong>of</strong> critical minority<br />
viewpoints from a specialist field would give rise, amongst other things, to loss <strong>of</strong> the necessary corrective<br />
influence and important impulses for new approaches in the field and would thereby, in the end, constitute a risk <strong>of</strong><br />
faulty scientific developments.<br />
<strong>The</strong>sis 10 - <strong>The</strong> abolition <strong>of</strong> a basic right for an entire scientific subject would stand in marked contrast to the<br />
efforts made in the Federal Republic <strong>of</strong> Germany and by the European Union in terms <strong>of</strong> legislation supporting<br />
equal rights for all citizens before the law, and in support <strong>of</strong> human rights and, in particular, against all and any type<br />
<strong>of</strong> discrimination, e.g. due to gender, or sexual orientation, or to descent, or religion or to ideology. [...]<br />
In view <strong>of</strong> the treatment <strong>of</strong> the problems at your conference in October 2005, we base our hopes on your<br />
willingness to seriously examine our concern. Should this examination give rise to a positive result such that you<br />
regard the matter as an “important case on questions <strong>of</strong> public law”, we would then ask you to consider the<br />
possibility foreseen in the statutes <strong>of</strong> your society<br />
section § 1, point 3, <strong>of</strong> “issuing a statement by submission to governments or people’s representatives or by<br />
written announcement”.”<br />
