Most important reason to keep all theories in play is to consciously remind ourselves that we DON'T have it all figured out.

there is a large difference between "make life decisions based on 0.00001 =~ 0" and "asserting that 0.00001 == 0"

by dragging "you make life decisions based on X =~ Y" you're dropping all intellectual rigor in logic fight
