As a kid I had problems with Foundation (Asimov) premise that loss of scientific knowledge can be the trigger not just the result of civilizational collapse - not anymore.
One of the issues that I think affects these people is that the scientific process can not guarantee that something is "correct" or "incorrect". Something that at a point was known to be correct can be later disproved by a later experiment or more specific conditions.
Some people want/need simple certainties, and as soon as they stumble upon something different, they will shift their trust to something "simple and clear". And they can do that again and again, as long as they don't need to accept some things are complex or unknown.
I do not know any school system (not that I am an expert or searched for it, just an impression) that emphasizes this dynamic nature of understanding, or that tries to make people accept the unknown.
(Been reading some of Wojcieck Zurek's semi-pop articles on decohrerence, and he alway puts a paragraph about the evolution of language in and points out that our intuitions won't work well in the quantum domain).
