That's like saying....well, we have to wait another 1,500 years to prove it, but we may not be able to prove it then, because we may be living in a water world.
Fairness is irrelevant. What is relevant is the scientific method.

And in 1500 years we may be living in a dry, cold, sub-arctic world. That "maybe" is just as likely as yours.
