I think the point is actually to get a high degree of epistemic rigor, and when you see science "evolving", it's actually because the epistemic rigor in that field wasn't very good in the first place.
Physics hasn't really "evolved" very much in the way medical "science" has. It's developed, but it's never needed to totally contradict itself. QM and SR are refinements on classical mechanics, not rebuttals.
