Sure. That explains the Piltdown man, archaeoraptor, and every failed *missing link* they have heralded only to have it fall flat a few months later, which they never announce to the world with the fanfare of the initial discovery.
Instead they just sweep it under the rug and hope it all fades away into oblivion.
Yup that kind of intellectual dishonesty by scientists is pretty demonic.

"A five million-year-old piece of bone that was thought to be a collarbone of a humanlike creature is actually part of a dolphin rib...The problem with a lot of anthropologists is that they want so much to find a hominid that any scrap of bone becomes a hominid bone." - Dr. Tim White (anthropologist, University of California, Berkeley). As quoted by Ian Anderson "Hominoid collarbone exposed as dolphin's rib", in New Scientist, 28 April 1983, p. 199[23]
Being a scientists means that as new facts and better analysis comes in, changing your mind is a necessity.
