I always feel a bit disappointed when science catches up to traditional or observational knowledge. It feels like so much opportunity being lost.

In the words of John von Neumann, there's a lot more that's known than is proved.

It's often frustratingly difficult to go from the known to the proven; still, just because something's not proved doesn't mean that scientists are ignoring it.

Also sometimes what we "know" is in fact wrong.

You're disappointed by the discovery of a new brain structure? This seems like a wonderful discovery to me.
