This statement is not logical. No, it represents the consensus at a given point in time. That's all. It does NOT NECESSARILY represent the "best" knowledge if we assume "best" means closest to the truth. A non-consensus theory may actually be the "best" knowledge at a given time. The statement may sound good to you but it is nonsense.
