I completely agree, heck there's also times when all the science is done perfectly but the result is incorrect because the people interpreting the data got Cause and Effect backwards... Or worse, when the data checks out, but violates the current paradigm so much that the academia of the time rejects it out of principle alone and refuses to acknowledge you. (This literally happened when we discovered germs, and the first person to pitch the idea of the Big Bang was mocked over how "religious" the idea sounded, so yes, there's precedent for this shit.)
