It as well established as belief in a spherical Earth before there were artificial satellites. And was that a rational belief or irrational belief?
The Flat Earth Society had a rational belief too, and a theory to prove it.
So your point about well established belief is ....??

A well-established belief is one in which there is a consensus among those with informed opinions.
Those who belive in a flat earth today are - flatly speaking - irrational on this particular topic.

As I said, portions of Newton's "law" of gravity are wrong, too, but that doesn't mean there is no such thing as gravity.
And anyone who says there is no such thing as gravity is clearly irrational.
Your point was what?
