While the odds are he's wrong, it's always worth remembering that everything that was ever discovered seemed wildly wrong and "impossible" before it was eventually accepted as obviously the truth. Copernicus comes to mind.

If we hope to advance as a civilization, we need to discover new stuff and new ways of doing things. So in my mind we shouldn't focus on him being "WrOnG", because that will only deter others from trying. We should encourage out of the box thinking and experimentation, and celebrate people who are willing to try new things and look at things with a fresh perspective.
