Science is pushing the bounds of human knowledge. Science is only science if it propagates, otherwise it's just someone's discovery. Science has to be built upon, even if it's disproven, that means it was documented well enough to be built upon. That's not to say everything that's disproven is science, because crackpot theories don't often push the bounds of human knowledge.

I hope the brilliant students get their knowledge out there. (But that is unfortunately hard in academia. Despite us living in what should be a post knowledge scarcity society, we clearly aren't.)
