Well read the book Bill and learn the context of what he got right by what we have learned in the last 2 years.

Its easy to miss the point or cling to 1957 dogma but you see he was used as an example in which his ridicule was in time proven undeserved, as is the case for many scientists despised in their day, or even today.

Perhaps we could used the old hackneyed example of Galileo assuage the outraged.
