There are borderline results in fields like physics, obviously, but they’re usually more esoteric and tend to have relatively clear cut theory behind them (which is why I’d guess you’re not too worried about, say, last year’s ambiguous results from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search), so they don’t provoke so much back-and-forthing.
Also, maybe more importantly, less in the way of financial and ideological commitment.
(Incidentally, my impression is that theoretical debates are more intense in physics than medicine, though I don’t know much about such theoretical debates as might exist in medicine.)
