The best part about actual science is that it usually discovers where more research is needed. It might be wrong because certain previously unknown variables affect it, or it might be right but vastly incomplete.

People don't naturally like things that leave grey area.

Science doesn't dictate what is or isn't right, it's a process that continues. Some information can't change, but that is no longer in the realm of science as it's now a fact.
