That the scientific method is fine as it is.
On top of that, quantum mechanics, Einstein's theories of relativity, Maxwell's equations, Newton's law of gravity, although Einstein "disproved" this, they both make the same mistake, and more.
And before people false dichitomize me into the religious camp, the best and easiest example I will always give of what's wrong with these theories is to take the holy trinity, argue what fallacy is taking place when one introduces a three-but-really-one monotheist deity as truth and then expand on that fallacy to take down the photon's two-but-really-one wave-particle duality.
All said and done. We clearly have only scratched surface of scientific knowledge. So it is pretty much a safe bet that the vast majority of what we "know" is wrong. Especially anything complicated.
