Aristotle's "heavier objects fall faster" theory went unchallenged for two millennia because apparently nobody thought to drop two different weights from a height and time them. Science was basically "sounds right, publish it" back then. Galileo finally did the experiment and was like "um, actually..." and revolutionized physics. Just imagine 2000 years of scholars nodding sagely at something a five-year-old with a rock and a feather could disprove.
