Broken record. Typical NOVA (no value added)

Yeah, well, 99 out of a hundred scientists swore amorphous semiconductors were physically impossible just a few years ago. In 1999, a fossil was smuggled out of China allegedly showing a small dinosaur with feathers, displayed in triumph at the National Geographic Society, and an article was written up in their magazine - paleontologists were abuzz, and it became common knowledge - but unfortunately, the scientists were all wrong - as a Chinese farmer rigged up some chicken bones and a meat-eater's tail. Albert Einstein included in his Relativity calculations the cosmological constant, that later scientists all declared was in error due to a newly discovered expanding universe, and even before he died, Einstein removed the calculation, calling it his greatest blunder. THEN, we find out the universe is not only expanding, but is accelerating that expansion, and NOW these same scientists have had to turn to Einstein's cosmological constant to explain things. They were all wrong. Marc Houser at Harvard falsified his data, manipulated results, and incorrectly described his methods in the cognition of primates, all accepted research by scientists, and resigned after a three year investigation of is lab, negating these well-known works that blended evolutionary biology and cognitive primate psychology. The scientists were again, wrong. So many previously accepted theories proven wrong. So many species that weren't even species - and didn't exist. Piltdown Man. So excuse me when I pass on 99 out of 100 scientists suggesting a lack of bones is evidence of the non-existence of Bigfoot. Time and again, they're shown to be relatively easy to fool, and don't seem to actually check the facts. Today, we discover that Antarctica - supposedly warming due to climate change - has actually been cooling for decades. I'll tell you where the joke is - those who think a lack of a particular type of evidence is proof of non-existence. We don't have a piece of Neptune - but based entirely on observations - it's looking really good for it's actual existence.
