Nothing in science is final because we add or modify the knowledge we know so far about certain phenomena. There are certain instruments, trends, and other factors that may emerge in our time that is not applicable to the time of previous scientists or experts. Which is why the information we have right now is still liable to change as we continuously experiment, investigate, and employ new methods.
