Hee-hee.
Actually yes. That's precisely what the LHC is about -- digging deeper.
I don't know about all scientists being wrong. Darwin certainly was right with the core of his theory as was Madam Curie, Newton (multiple theories), Einstein, etc.
Are they right in everything they say and do. No. Not by a long shot, but the body of science which results is as right as we get. It is the truth as we know it.
