Yes, absolutely. Not only overt rust, but they publish whenever they have a positive result for an accepted theory, and if they have a negative result they suppress it, or it gets suppressed by the referee.

A bit overstated. It is wonderful to have a result that is not in line with accepted theory. Its just if you do you better have some good explanation for it, or be able to document it quite well.

Academic journals are full, not filled, with examples of situations that do not fit theory; that is how theory evolves. But the average graduate student is more likely to misunderstand his findings, or just not dig deep enough into the problem than he is to actually come upon a real exception to theory. (The economic principle that people act rationally is a great example)

That is why it is accepted theory---nobody has found a better explanation.
