Is the the science that prevailed the the false application of the science? Those are two different things. If one only looks a short time periods, then one might think faulty science has prevailed, but if you look at science over hundreds of years, I think you will find that science marches along slowly and that many of the "trends", "faulty applications of science", etc. will fall by the wayside. I mean, we don't really do trephening or prefrontal lobotomies anymore. Many academic scientists are now questioning and exploring what effects different pharmaceuticals actually have. Time will decide what remains as true science. Where we are now in pharmaceuticals is different from where we will be 200 years from now, and that future destination will be the result of science over time, including overcoming numerous theories that fell by the wayside along the way.
