I'd say the method that science becomes established is one of the problems, because a big chunk (50%?) of that process is non-scientific (political people processses).

I'd feel a lot better if "established" meant something more like well-replicated (with an economic/academic model to support that).

That's a big part of why waiting helps. 2024 politics are different than 2004 than 1984.

It's easier to be objective looking back, and all the entrenched interests hyping things or slandering things are usually gone or different.
