Sure, but they didn't say correctness, they said certainty

There are people certain the earth is flat, the moon landings were fake. That certainty doesn't impress me. So I'm just really not sure what the point is.

The point was that science doesn't allow for certainty, by construction. We're not certain the sun will rise tomorrow, we're not certain the speed of light is a limit, we're not certain that F=ma or that E=mc².

Those that want certainty have to look to religion, or to pseudoscience. And they will certainly be wrong.
