Isn’t it great to admit mistakes? Some say it takes maturity

It isn't that science is wrong. It is that science updates what it knows, when it learns what was believed to be true was incorrect. For thousands of years, many believed that because the old testament said insects had 4 legs, that the extra two appendages were non functional. But when someone realised the ancients were wrong, they changed their minds.

What? My daughter can use her tail to grab things. It's not very useful because it's really short, but it is functional.

That's how science works.

You make a theory and test it and if everyone tests it too and you were right it becomes considered a scientific fact.

But if someone proves that you were wrong. Even thousands of years later we get to say we learned something new and previous research was wrong.

Imagine thinking the literal scientific method makes science obsolete and deserving of quotations as if it’s not a real thing.

That's what makes science great. They are true at times with current knowledge and equipment's capabilities. Then we found out that was not correct or not truly correct, we improve our record and repeat. Science never stops expanding for even a day.

Science is never right or wrong. It’s just observations.

You understand that it was a scientific process that discovered the animals do make sound, right...?
