It's not the case that Bell etc. were simply overlooked: the whole question of experimental tests of interpretations of quantum mechanics was actively stigmatised and avoided by physicists until well into the '70s, at least. Clauser couldn't get a job in the area. https://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0508180

Feynman enjoyed holding forth about philosopy of science, demarcation and so on but there doesn't seem to be much evidence that he had unusually good judgement on those issues: https://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0508180 . But then Michael Jordan and Cristiano Ronaldo aren't particular authorities when it comes to questions of good sportsmanship. > Independent of his admitted naiveté and the job crisis in American physics, it is interesting to record how some leading physicists reacted to the physics he was doing. Clauser (2002a, p.71) reports that while he "was actually performing the first…
