Phylogenies are just best estimates, educated guesses, etc. One
hypothesis may be better at explaining the available facts and become
the de facto preferred hypothesis, but this applies to any data-source.
And additional data may result in a new preferred hypothesis.
Unfortunately this is lost on the molecular propagandists who widely
assert that the chimpanzee relationship to humans is a scientific fact
(or words to that effect, and I can give quotes if needed).
