We're talking about impressionable aged individuals who aren't stupid (despite claims to the contrary) they readily pick up on when a person is telling the rote that they themselves do not believe in.
Further despite the idea of "do as I say, not as I do" you have a major issue that most people actually still find ways to openly show their disdain for ideas they don't support even if they tell others to do it.
Also refusing acceptance of the scientific method, even on a personal level, makes one ultimately unqualified to teach the subject. You're talking about the foundations of the entire field, and a refusal to accept this means that you hold all scientific law as suspect. Thus completely impairing your ability to teach the subject matter that is founded upon it.
