That's a lot of damage for two words!

Can you suggest an equally terse title that would avoid problems such as "position[ing] scientific theories as normative rather than descriptive" and "mak[ing] refinement look like failure"?

I think you're assigning far too much wrongdoing to this perceived sleight here, I wouldn't even think that saying "our current understanding makes this look impossible" is a way of saying we shouldn't celebrate change and improved understanding, I would instead go the opposite way and think how interesting it is to find things outside our understanding

Why use two words when one is suffient? "Unexpected".

"Shouldn't exist" is cargo cult psuedoscience terminology.

surprising would work for me.
