There is a difference between implication and confirmation. The lack of data supporting a confirmation is the reason those theories are often incomplete. So where is the flaw in a process which produces theories which acknowledges their limits? To say there is a contradiction between unconfirmed implications of theories is a flaw in science is the same as saying that someone who says 2 + 2 = 5 has found a flaw in mathematics.
