    Narrowing it based on what we can measure doesn’t mean it’s correct.

    The deeper we have stared into the universe the more our base understandings have challenged.

      Hence the “unless there’s something seriously wrong with the previous research” part. That is always a possibility, of course, but it’s much less likely that is the case then that this single study is the thing that is wrong.
