He is basically using Mac's arguement about evolution from always sunny

"Science is a liar sometimes"

 

I thought I'd never see a Sunny reference on this site, and it couldn't have been used better.

The beauty of science is that as we learn more things are updated. 

But sometimes the scientific establishment prevents change. For example, if they don't think what you are doing is valuable, they may not publish your articles, or fund your research.

A long time ago, the idea that the earth's continental plates shifted was considered absurd by most scientists. The scientific establishment deliberately impeded the work of the man who came up with and studied the theory.

And the establishment was controlled by religious influence. Which is not the case these days. 

But I agree that the scientific community has stopped progress at times.
