Nonsense. Good science is good science and bad science is bad science, regardless of era.
Maxwell's Equations are still in use today. We still produce Sodium by the same basic method that Davy pioneered in 1807.
Yes. That's the question. How good is the science. Here the issue is method.
Maxwell's Equations are still in use today.
Yes. But this is not method.
Maxwells equations are the same but how electricity is generated, for example, has progressed immensely. One wouldn;t advocate using a power station of the 19th century today because Maxwell's equations haven't changed.
