That is equivalent to accept the theory where it please, and to discard its consequences where it is unpleasant. That is a form of instrumentalist wishful thinking, which cannot help to improve the theories. Better accept the consequences, and if you can refute the theory properly, then we can progress. If not we run toward the catastrophes. In the 1930s, many germans have voted for Hitler, despite they were sincerely shocked by its racisme and antisemtisme, but then he was so promising for redressing the economy. The demagogs exploit that type of wishful thinking. It is the same in metaphysics and physics. You need to be consistent with your own theories, or you get pseudo-religions and the useless suffering which go with it.
