It is even better to keep on looking for better truth's and/ or improved theories.
Ignorance is NOT Cockscroft Folly (Think Sellafield)

Believers and Deniers: Isn't it ok just not knowing?
There is only truth or not truth. There is no "better" truth. 2 + 2 = 4, and that is the truth. Anything else is not truth. Of course, it is easier by far to determine the truth in math or the sciences than is for past events or the non-sciences.
Theories can be improved upon and used to possibly find the truth, and you can get close to the truth, but you either have it or you do not.

That is the beauty of mathematics.
A very good scale on which to check how a specific theory
holds.
So yes, when it comes to theories,
one sticks with the one most valid for the time being.
If a theory does not have any connection with the
checkable results, questions may be asked.
That's what I like about the SI units, math symbols, etc..
Maybe Esperanto is not such a bad idea.
Remember the Mars rover malfunctioning because
Imperial and SI units got mixed up.
(Please do not tell any religious fanatic that there is only one truth...)

I agree that serious questions should be asked about the theory's validity. If there is not ANY connection with the results, I suggest throwing out the theory entirely because it has so many structural faults it will be useless. Unless, of course, you just want to cherry-pick facts to fit your theory, as so many do these days.
I have a very good friend who instantly forms an opinion on something new and refuses to accept any fact that does not match the initial opinion. The initial blinders make true understanding very, very difficult.
Funny! Why not just tell them that there is ONLY one truth and none of them are on the right track so far! They would form an instant theory about you that would result in your future opinions being totally rejected.
"The theory is flawless, and if the facts don't fit, then throw out the fact!"
Sheesh!
BTW, care to tell a little about yourself so I can have a mental image of my new correspondent? This is kind of like chatting with a fuzzy, formless cloud...somewhere.
My "about me" is pretty solidly exposed.
No problem, though. As you see fit.
