Re: I know this may not go over well.
I'm tired of theories being widely proclaimed as fact, only to be later shot down or significantly altered.
Which theory was "being widely proclaimed as fact", and by whom, in this case?
I haven't been paying the closest attention, but I must confess that no one's come knocking on my door to insist that quasars are the result of large amounts of matter falling into supermassive black holes and we shouldn't expect to see four of them hanging out together.
Indeed, when I do take a gander at what some astrophysicists are saying, they seem rather fond of couching their statements in the usual flurry of qualifications, error bounds, and the like. Not readin' a whole lotta dogmatism when I skim the occasional paper on arXiv or what have you.
