It's related to the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect where you read something you are well studied in and you find it riddled with errors then you read something else you know nothing about, like say the origin of oil and you are more open to terrible mistakes. But then again I do think about how past generations had their own established theories, like 'the ether', or a geocentric universe only to have those be laughed at by our current understanding. But all that is more of romantic notion that I might be on to something that science has totally missed a romantic version of the Gell Man amnesia effect. Basically we can't know everything and have to trust something.
