And you are just noticing this now for what reason ? I'm guessing because someone wants you to.

I think the world being round is a bad analogy. The % of people who thought it was flat is fairly small(people still think it today btw).
Galileo is a much better example, he came out with findings that went against the political structure of the day, and got sandblasted for it. I think this still happens today, and funding finds its way into the coffers of those who agree with the political machine.
