Sorry, I was attempting to agree. Science is criticized when it doesn't come up with the right answer the first time and very quickly. It gets accused of being wrong, slow, biased, etc. However, the right answer the first time doesn't always happen and for no nefarious reasons. You had a good example with cancer research - better and closer all the time but not there yet.
