Not Invented Hereism is different from "look, you outsiders fundamentally just don't understand the score, and until you do, i'm going to ignore you".
Swanking into the joint, assuming spherical cows, and berating the locals for being lazy roustabouts who just need to see the light is not going to make you friends, because it's demonstrably not useful. To the extent that there's human politics and gatekeeping, it's resolved by getting ones hands dirty in the lab before one holds forth ex cathedra about things one obviously doesn't understand. It's certainly possible to take valuable ideas from one field and apply them in a productive cross-disciplinary way. The people who do it well don't play this game.
Intuitions and practices developed to handle designed and often linearizable systems for which spec sheets of some form are available just aren't applicable without heavy modification in the biosciences, which routinely deal with eking out victory in systems which are not designed, are wildly nonlinear, and for which the partial specs which do exist are known to be at best lies of omission and often just complete misunderstandings which can be, and are, revised at a moment's notice.
