Then why did we think no 2 finger prints are the same for so long?
As has been posted previously, fingerprinting is not a good example for you to use. But in addition it also supports Schraf's point.
We thought that no two fingerprints were the same because manual observation of fingerprints had shown no examples of two identical prints from different people. The argument was thst X number of prints have been examined and no two identical prints found. It never said that "we would not find two identical prints, only that so far we had not".
With the advent of computers and the combinination of the many fingerprint databases into one unified database, it then became possible to make such comaprisions.
Science is self correcting.When evidence is found that overturns a supposition, then science does just that. It says "What we believed was wrong and we can no longer support that belief."
