The great thing about the scientific method is that it's self-correcting. Even though that poster's idea may have seemed brilliant to some individuals that didn't know much about it or how to think critically (or if they did, they didn't want to crush his hopes), upon closer examination it was incorrect all the same. But, this is a good thing. The system weeds out flawed concepts in favor of replacing them with more accurate ones, as possible, instead of lauding a certain concept even if it may be wrong. This is how it'd be in a perfect world, anyway. Some people may have a bit of a romanticized view of the big bang theory and such, for example.
