Your source looks like Feynman has perhaps embellished that story.

Also, isn't it quite different when there's a canonical measurement (Millikan) versus where there isn't one (climate change) ?

Not really. For an unbiased estimator the "revisions" should be random (half upward and half downward), so if you're always making improvements in one direction you can infer some sort of systematic bias.
