Scientists can change things anytime they want. They learn more, they adjust the theory, they move on. It's no big deal -- this is how science is done.

But if anyone else comes along and asks a question, it's -- "Hey, you moron! This is settled science! This is beyond dispute! Don't tell me what you believe -- I've got facts!"

That is, until they find new facts and have to change the science again. But it's OK. That's how science is done.
