I might observe I would say exactly the same thing if someone used the example of science changing position on the "inferiority" of black people, or the weakness of women (mentally and physically). Science has made some mistakes (and luckily the nature of science allows it to correct itself, since there is no doctrine of infallibility), but the mistakes that have been made have often been made when science departed from the natural world, and serviced human prejudice and bigotry instead- imo, of course. I speak generally here, but if you would like to argue that the change in our perception of black people, scientifically speaking, is wrong- and that they are, indeed, inferior, as science used to tell us long ago, I will try to join your argument, even though it will cause me pain to read such arguments.
