I doubt such historical considerations give a lot.<br>
<br>
The consideration of historical experiments does not give anything at<br>
all. The point is that later they are regularly repeated, in various<br>
variants, and, given the technical progress during the last centuries,<br>
with much better equipment.<br>
<br>
Instead, the first experiment, the one which becomes famous, is always<br>
borderline. The mainstream has accepted it as sufficient, but it was<br>
the first one, thus, the first one which was accurate enough to be<br>
accepted by the mainstream. That means, there have been probably even<br>
at that time reasonable scientists who had not accepted it. So,<br>
doubting them is always possible, even reasonable. But the mainstream<br>
does not rely on that first experiment alone, but bases its certainty<br>
on the more accurate subsequent ones.<br>

<br>
Hardly. It would probably not change much.<br>
