Survival is how science works. Some theories are proven wrong, others are proven right. The theories that are proven wrong are often still quite accurate except for some edge cases. We shouldn't use our advantage of having one entire century plus two decades of research history to ridicule scientists from 100 years ago. They didn't have python, excel or pocket calculators. Yet they were able to derive really fancy rules and laws. I think that's really impressive, even if they were wrong on some things. We are likely wrong on some things too, doesn't mean we should discard all of our science.
