It's okay. It's perhaps a weak answer but a valid point that those who may have heard of the theory but not truly looked into it or decided to subscribe to it may be surprised or swayed by the study. Recent research seems more validating than old research. However, you have a point as well, in that if grants and money keep getting poured into expensive studies that prove what we already know, it can be frustrating and limit other, more innovative research.
