No one is prevented from holding a theory that is wrong, so the statement
is more or less true. There are flat earthers around yet, and I wouldn't
be surprised if we could dig up someone who believes in Phlogiston theory
yet. There is no law that says we have to be right! ;^)

Well, that shines a whole new light on the discussion.
Theories are never discarded even when they are proved
to be incorrect. I think I understand now.
