So you think there’s still hope for the phlogiston hypothesis of combustion, heh? Or, that somewhere, sometime, someone will repeat Lavoisier’s experiment, and get different results. Are you well?

I’m saying you can’t rule out evidence surfacing that puts a new spin on old knowledge and possibly refutes it. A lot of things people thought were scientifically correct in 1908 are not the case in 2008. I fuully expect it to be the same in 2108.
