An old Daniel Kahneman article on theory induced blindness
"Once you have accepted a theory, it is extraordinarily difficult to notice its flaws. "
And we are never going to notice flaws if every time the theory fails to explain something, we keep saying "there's something mysterious about it that is beyond my intelligence" instead of questioning it.
