Sure. If one finds evidence that a certain statement is not true it will have to changed or removed. That does not mean the statement is no longer useful; it might still form a good approximation to reality.

A good example is Newton's theory of gravity. It turned out to be wrong if masses of objects become big enough. It has been replaced by Einstein's theory of general relativity, but Newton's theory is still used today because it is much easier to work with than Einstein's theory and because it is still a good approximation.
