This is not how science and the scientific method is working!

There are flaws in the scientific method and the peer Review. Mostly that it is done by humans.

However you should use evidence and experiments everybody can redo to base your argument on.

Also everything that is currently a fact may be disproven by the next scientific break through.

To err is human. Not changing your mind given obvious evidence is stupid.

Unfortunately we rarely have obvious evidence for sth.
