We could say that about a lot of things. A game of moving the goalposts to suit the situation springs to mind :-)



In what way is that comment or methodology ,moving the goal posts ?
It is simply the way science works , there is never an ultimate truth ,that is only to be found in religion , science just constantly strives for better models .
