Everyone can be wrong, solving problems is what my field is looking for (I m not sure if that is fortunate or unfortunate).

Most research is funded by private corporations looking to make their money back then some. Two years of not being right is usually worse for having a sustainable career than just bsing that you’re right. Case study: Alzheimer’s research.
