That is antithetical to the principles of science, but it depends on what area of science you operate in.
To take the spectrum of shades of grey:
- white would be math
- first hint of grey with physics
- greyer all they way down to biology where every different field has their own bar graphs
You're a lunatic if you say 2+2=5, to return to the cases in point, it's been done, it's been dusted (mostly), and there's going to be a lot more work to do in the future to clear it up but people will always want to see the 'missing link' or proof that there was no leakage (deliberate or otherwise) from the lab.
