Nobody in their right mind blindly trusts a single result. Science is about consensus.
I want to tweak that, but I think this is what you're getting at.
Science is about discovering how the world functions. Therefor, the body of scientific results should fit together in a coherent picture.
If one result deviates dramatically from the larger set, it's worth investigating further, but shouldn't be adopted as the truth immediately.
