Albert Einstein is doing a marvelous job of explaining Scientific Orthodoxy to you, and you still misrepresent him.
"Concepts that have proven useful in ordering things can easily attain an authority over us such that we forget their wordly origin and take them as immutably given. They are then rather rubber-stamped as a "sine-qua-non of thinking" and an "a priori given", etc. Such errors make the road of scientific progress often impassable for long times. "
That's the setup. You're ignoring the end of the quote where Einstein says, "They are removed when they cannot properly legitimize themselves; they are corrected when their association with given things was too sloppy; they are replaced by others when a new system can be established that, for various reasons, we prefer."
Of course the exists a scientific orthodoxy. No one is denying that. Sometimes those orthodoxies are very difficult for the scientific community to abandon. No one is denying that, either. Nevertheless, many, many deeply held scientific orthodoxies have been uprooted throughout the history of science, like aether, caloric, absolute space, geocentrism, etc.
My point is that the description of the scientific community as one that never questions/abandons its most fundamental assumptions is patently and demonstrably false. This is because, as my Feynman quote makes clear, science already knows that it does not currently (and might never) have access to the fundamental laws of physics.
