Your logic won't be acceptable on a board titled "science and math" because of the "math" part.

Most scientists are also at least casual mathematicians. So they subscribe to the idea that if even ONE counterexample to a conjecture is found, it is considered disproven.
Once that happens, it can be at best "almost true, but...". You can no longer say it's "absolutely indisputable" since the disputing proof literally exists, in basic reality.
