I'd be interested to learn about results in the "hard sciences" that I work in (mathematics, logic, program verification, typing systems), what papers "everyone in the niche knows is false", but "fears to speak out about".
Sure, mistakes happen, my own PhD contained a major blunder (discovered several years after submission -- at least somebody read it ...), but I'm extremely open about it.
