Having been on HD myself a couple years ago, I think the real problem is 
simply that their resident experts come into the program with their own 
pet theories and beliefs about particular topics already in place -- and 
they choose subjects that will easily tie in with them, and then look 
around for experts who will uphold what they've already concluded.

It's all heavily routined, and nothing gets on that contradicts what the 
particular cast member assigned to the program has already concluded.
