phrasing it this way rubs me the wrong way, it gives people without a good understanding of science the idea that scientists are just wildly wrong all the time like the way people are casually wrong all the time.

it's more like newton was 95% right, but einstein's successor theory was 99% right and covered some cases where newtons 95% right results were measurably wrong enough that it made an important difference. and we already know that einstein's theory has holes, we just don't know how to fix them
