In general, if your results contradict existing science, your work for publication will be passed immediately to those scientists for "peer review".
Those same scientists are motivated to protect their own existing and future work. The academic standards you are subjected to will be far higher than work supporting the status quo.
Unfortunately, they are usually also the best equipped to find flaws in the new work. True, this is not ideal, but it's also not ideal to send a paper to less expert reviewers.
All of which goes to say that pre-print publication is the way to gooooo.
