“The fundamental cause of the trouble in the modern world today is that the stupid are full of confidence while the intelligent are full of doubt.”—Bertrand Russell. It's not a trope, it's just that smart people aren't usually part of the Dunning Krueger club.

@tmilani8253 A scientific theory is an explanation of how a real event works. It has nothing to do with figuring out if that event is real or not. A skull was found, that means the animal was real, a hypothesis is made based on what information is available, that hypothesis is tested, and if successful and has no conflicting data it becomes a scientific theory. As more data is found, the more questions are answered and the more that theory is refined. You can still disprove some parts or the entirety of the theory by providing a better theory that better explains the observable event and answers more questions, but you can never disprove the observable event in itself.
