I am not arguing any of your points. What I wanted to say is, give it some more time. These conversations on changing basic theories take place over years, not months, and certainly not from a single source of conflicting data.
Physicists are the most pliable about accepting new theories because they get bombarded with new data so often. It is hard to maintain a swelled ego in the face of many sources of new data that conflict with your baby, single sources of data are easy to ignore.
Be grateful that we are talking about physics here, there are some branches of "science" where the prevailing wisdom is so rigidly enforced that any departure results in immediate loss of position/funding/status.
