Wait, wouldn't it just be "Oh, science just made a mistake, and that is how it progresses"...

Despite the "consensus" thoroughly "debunking" it conclusively many times...

Also, if it ever happens, I think it would be during course of many decades that all the existing "scientists" can save their faces, and new generations won't care about "Science" being wrong once again, despite all the projections of "certainity" back then..
