Erm, yes - if you come up with a new theory of gravity, it had better explain the current orbits of the planets.
Suppose I have a wonderful new theory of gravity, it doesn't work for anything on earth, or anything you can measure in space - but that's ok because that's old data and doesn't count.

Gyms make all their money from people who never go - that's why they all have 12month contracts and sell 90% of them in January
My local gym does per visit, 10 visit, 1, 3 and 12month with increasing discount - but it's city owned = socialism eh?
