In case of two mutually exclusive propositions, exactly one is of necessity true. Whether we can verify it or not, or whether the majority believes one or the other make absolutely no difference. The objective planet doesn't change according to people's beliefs or (lack of) knowledge. If we don't accept that, all science will be meaningless.

The shape of the earth is like a horn would be the truth in the next millennium when the introduction of four dimension was already in common.
Of course all scientific achievement means a lot but it also indicates the limitation of our knowledge.
