That is exactly how science works. You have to prove something before it's made a fact. Science operates completely on the notion that incorrect statements should be gotten rid of.
- TallGuyShort 9y agoAnd the problem here is that a lot of people want to quickly equate, "someone published what they claim is a proof" with "someone proved it". Just like pop-sci media likes to equate, "someone observed a correlation between X and Y that is surprising and contradicts with previous results" with "scientists prove X causes Y".
