Look at the flat earthers who successfully replicated experiments to measure the rotation of the earth through the very very very minor local effect on optics. If they could drop the obsession they could do real science, rather than just be stuck trying to figure out new ways to deny what they see

As far as actually doing good work, the willingness to find out you're wrong and change your mind is more important.

Technical excellence just lets you state something is true confidently, and with well crafted evidence. It is not useful if it does not come after a genuine effort to find the truth.
