Indeed, it was a mistake, but here is the core difference.
When a secular establishment discovers a mistake it readjusts itself accordingly and we all benefit from now knowing what is most likely to be true.
When a fundamentalist establishment finds out it makes a mistake it lies, blackmails, shrieks hysterically and refuses to move an inch.
Why should we not trust those who pursue truth if not more than any less than those who don't care if what they teach is true or not?
