Elitism is the feeling or notion that oneself or their group- along with the accompanying ideals and standards- are better than another persons or [groups]. Contrary to most of the ill-informed definitions given on UD, Elitism is NOT a trait found only in the [weak-minded], or those incapable of formulating their own views. It actually is very common to find Elitism in fields such as Physics and other science, since not all scientists conform to the same theories. While it may [inhibit] progress in some instances, it does keep a rough accepted norm for what is logical to believe.
