Today, I learned the useful expression "Galileo gambit." We encounter it all the time when it comes to climate science.

"The argument runs thus: Galileo was ridiculed in his time for his scientific observations, but was later acknowledged to be right; the proponent argues that since their non-mainstream views are provoking ridicule and rejection from other scientists, they will later be recognized as correct, like Galileo."
