Science is a tapestry and when you yank at one thread the whole thing may need to be rewoven but sometimes you have to yank the thread. I think the comparison means that scientists may misinterpret things but at the same time may discover new ways to view the universe.

Vesto Slipher contributions were that he took spectra of the spiral nebulae and discovered galactic redshifts. Slipher discovered that most of the objects were moving away from us at high speeds. As a result of this discovery Hubble correlated Slipher's measurements with distance. He measured by other means to formulate his law which was that the farther away the galaxy was the Faster it was moving away From us.
