I think science is very close minded in a way that demonstrates the quote above. It's a good thing - it protects the purity of the discipline. This doesn't mean science is closed to new ideas, that's a different ball of wax. Science is open to new ideas because it never assumes it has revealed some final truth (in a way that demonstrates the quote below):

If you thought before that science was certain - well, that is just an error on your part.
