Yes, but it occurs more often than just that. There is anomalous data with respect to human origins and lost civilizations (lazy anthropologists). Anomalous data regarding archaeological finds (lazy archaeologists). Anomalous data in physics--e.g., the cutting/exclusion of æther from physics frameworks (lazy physicists). Plus, much more. I'm speaking more specifically of some scientists and the paradigms that they peddle. I see holes. They make excuses and lean on Occam's Razor to dismiss evidence and facts. I've challenged institutional professors and they prefer the lazy route. Nobody wants to go against the consensus paradigm, even if it's full of holes.
