As a group, they're the perfect illustration of an echo chamber. Think of them as a control group, where the concepts espoused are clearly wrong, but they believe they're getting valid science (like drug control groups believe they are getting meds instead of placebos).

Most international ship captains and crews. Meteorologists. Astronomers. Anyone professionally involved with satellites.
