New Of course
My statement was again that, I don't see the longevity of a belief system as necessarily deriving from its correctness or being based on something real.

That applies to any scientific claim as well.

That doesn't mean that any particular claim is necessarily incorrect and based on something false. That particularly does not mean that when said claim is something that has been through the kind of stress-testing that science routinely does.

Cheers,
Ben
