Not an expert, but isn't your LCDM vs MOND example assymetric? Like different kinds of data supports each model very well, and so reconciliation isn't simple?

Moreover, your objection that science progresses one funeral at a time is exaggerated, even if it is real, it's not necessarily all that strong: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6814193/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6814193/
- MattPalmer1086 1mo agoCertainly true that the data can be viewed in many different ways. Often the same data is used by both sides! The funeral thing isn't really a position I strongly hold; it's a pithy comment that points out science is a human endeavor and maybe not quite as objective as it is often presented. But science as a whole is ultimately a self correcting methodology, even if it might take longer than we would want and doesnt always get it right.
