It does indicate that science moves forward and uses evidence to improve health care. On the other hand, "integrative medicine" doesn't respond to evidence. Instead it opts for use of small, self-selected preliminary studies in order to justify treatments that simply are not supported by the actual spectrum of evidence. Pointing out that science moves forward from the past mistakes does not change that.
