Newtonian motion was pretty well established for hundreds of years until general relativity transformed our understanding of gravity.
Things seem "established" until evidence comes along indicating it may not be. It doesn't always result in a reevaluation, but there's times it does.
This feels like one of those times where there's those in the establishment are yelling at others that their studies are a waste of time and that they shouldn't bother....and if that advice was followed, we'd be missing many of the breakthroughs in knowledge we have today. Of course there will be many times they're unsuccessful. That's why accepting a negative result is a lauded part of the scientific process. Without the bravery required in challenging convention, we would never make progress.
