Yeah, that seems to be the article's thesis, just a misleading title.

What I’m proposing is neither global pessimism nor naïve faith. It’s local skepticism, or disciplined trust, which is precisely what science needs to improve itself. The history of science is indeed a graveyard of theories, but the fact that science keeps changing is a mark of its strength. It keeps changing because the world is complex and full of wonder. That isn’t a problem; it’s the engine that drives scientific progress

Ofc. It's the NYTrash - centuries of imperial propaganda and worthless bullshit.

I assumed based on the subtext requesting we read the article that the contents of said article said that we should trust it because it's constantly changing and challenging itself.

However I think some people might be inclined to downvote specifically because this kind of headline is basically clickbait. I'm not sure they're wrong in doing so.

To be fair tho... Why should people read some clickbait bullshit from phony imperial propagandists?

You didn't read the article.

Yep. This is exactly the kind of take that got the US to where it is now. This is the exact sort of thing you'd hear one of those people say.

It does however prove what's false provide evidence of what's un/likely.
