Maybe! But scientists often maintain contradictory models to explain phenomena, depending on which is more useful for a given situation. A lot of philosophers of science (like Margaret Morrison) talk about this.pic.twitter.com/4EAGXCsDyJ

Sometimes you need to push hard on two different ideas that apparently contradict each other until one wins over time or someone finds a way to reconcile them. Can be good for govt policy but likely creates a focus & friction issue in a startup.
