This is a great illustration of how science continuously refines it's results. It immediately brought to mind a great short essay by Isaac Asimov: The Relativity of Wrong, by Isaac Asimov (The Skeptical Inquirer, Vol. 14 No. 1, Fall 1989) http://chem.tufts.edu/AnswersInScience/RelativityofWrong.htm Bravo to the Soares and Richards team.
