Who said he’s wrong? You? Epicurus was a philosopher, not a scientist. Philosophy can be neither right nor wrong. It’s simply the rules people use to live by.

Hundreds of philosophers through the centuries. Have you done any reading on the subject? If so, it won't be long before you come across the falseness of this aspect of Epicureanism.

Of course philosophy can be wrong. Suppose my philosophy is that suffering is not real, humans are all divine with superpowers, and food is the most dangerous substance on the planet. I'm am just dead wrong, not to mention I'll be completely dead very quickly without ingesting food.
There have been many times through the centuries that once popular philosophies have given way to other reasoning that showed them to be faulty, and that's fine. We learn as we go.
