I always thought that it's the desire to not have their egos' perfect image of self shattered. People get used to defend themselves when something arises that puts their knowledge at less than perfect position of "I don't yet know something and haven't yet chosen to ignore or study it".Subconsciously it's probably because of the desire for controversy and the desire for entertaining discussion.
