he's not always right right away though. he often has to stumble through several theories and fail a few times. and that is where scully is crucial. she is the one who pushes him for evidence to back up his claims, which leads him first to realize his theories were wrong, and second leads them BOTH to the right answer. the only way it works is when they work together.
okay here's an x-files argument. it's fair to say mulder is always right, because that's the way the writers talked about it. (source: frank spotnitz gave a talk at my office in 2015 and said the writers realized early on that mulder always had to be right and scully had to be wrong because the alternative was too depressing.) it was a guiding principle of the show. sure you could "well actually" every declarative statement about the x-files to the point where it's impossible to see the big picture, but then you're losing the way the contradictions bump into the big picture and make the show feel alive. it's the spirit of the thing. people aren't reading brian phillips' "in the dark" enough anymore

one minute you're at work experiencing stress levels that would kill a full grown horse and the next you're psychologically cold-cocked by someone in your tumblr DMs mistaking you for their 55-year old milf ex-girlfriend named joan and calling you a bitch but promising that he's good for you because he fixed up the plumbing on the house and installed cabinets in the kitchen
