The philosophy of evidence-based medicine was, ahem, inspired by the case of Ignaz Semmelweis. Semmelweis made a study which was widely perceived as flawed and having implausible conclusions... but which turned out, decades later, to be right (when Louis Pasteur formulated the Germ Theory, which gave a convincing theoretical explanation for the Semmelweis'es findings).
Actually, EBM is almost as old as the history of medicine itself. Its modern form is attributed to Avicenna, who predates Semmelweis by at least a couple of weeks.
