Not just the mindset. Our social setting can deem some hypothesis must be true and any disagreement is blasphemy of the highest order. The 'softer' a science, the more beliefs like this that exist. Sometimes you can even see scientists deeply studying something adjacent to one of these beliefs start to question it and how delicately they have to dance around the issue until enough other scientists also question that they have the safety in numbers to begin directly questioning the belief. A reoccurring example of this is the research around the labeling of certain behaviors as abnormal psychology which eventually lead to an update in the DSM.
