In the lack of conclusive criteria of the empiric truth, we simply have to learn from our mistakes. The progress of knowledge would come from the refusal to a hypothesis and the search for a better explained content that could avoid at least some of the previous hypothesis faults. This would be the scientific progress criteria.
