Isn’t that kind of how science works, testing things rather than relying on things we think we already know?

Excacly. You can never proof these things. You can only study it again and again and again, and then compare results with earlier similar studies. This is the way.

Edit: And THEN you can say, it's probably true, because we have 10 studies that said so. But we still can't be sure, because studies are not bulletproof and has flaws within them (Especially psychology studies)
