Yeah, that seems to be the article's thesis, just a misleading title.

What I’m proposing is neither global pessimism nor naïve faith. It’s local skepticism, or disciplined trust, which is precisely what science needs to improve itself. The history of science is indeed a graveyard of theories, but the fact that science keeps changing is a mark of its strength. It keeps changing because the world is complex and full of wonder. That isn’t a problem; it’s the engine that drives scientific progress
