Study of disease in populations is a statistical science, Epidemiology. Medicines do not work equally for all people. Not Apodictic
History of science is not and cannot be established by scientists. That is the realm of philosophers of science.
It is commonly believed that Christopher Columbus faced a council at Salamanca that believed in the flat earth. This is Common knowledge.
