Er, uh, _we_ can get along, but our hypotheses can't. When there are n contradicting opinions in science, _at least (n - 1) are wrong_. And _at most_ one is completely correct. Therefore there's an entire book entitled (in German) "The truth does not lie in the middle". We must "fight it out", until at least (n - 1) of the alternatives are disproved.
Or until everyone arguing is no longer alive. Fight to the death! j/k
