You can always limit yourself to updating in all but the most obvious cases that science misses, and doing marginally better.
No doubt that this is what many scientists do - ‘this is what I really think, but I’ll admit it’s not generally accepted’. But I’d put the emphasis on updating only in the obvious cases and otherwise trusting in science, because how many areas of science can one really know well enough to do better than the subject-area consensus?
