$\begingroup$ I believe that all physicists are using their brain, but their work is more than ever a compromise between scientific honesty and survival in a competitive environment (where publication timing is critical, number of publications counts more than their depth and an immense amount of paperwork is needed to keep the lab running). Publishing weird neutrino arrival times before the experiment is replicated elsewhere a rational approach to nowaday's scientist survival strategy, no matter how confusing it is. A much deeper change in the system (and our values) would be needed to fix this. $\endgroup$
