That is a good way to describe it.
In 2020 I did not find a single good news source.
Every single one had some sort of beef with something somewhere and any narrative related to it would be shared in a way to bring down.
It takes quite a few sources to get what is going on and a lot of effort.
It also takes accepting a lot of issues will stay in Schroedinger's box. There isn't the information to confirm one way or the other, but people want to believe.
The step of recognizing a situation of ignorance isn't in the brain capacity for a lot of people.
People run with unconfirmed conjecture and allow it to create massive impenatrable structures in thinking.
Paleontology is full of guesses that people believe without realizing how weak the process has been, or how little evidence exists(if at all.)
And as Javadog said, a clue is changing narrative.
Dinosaurs when I grew up were still drawn wth scales.
Now they are drawn with featers.
The entire accepted pose for dinosaurs has also changed.
We were guessing, and uh, we're still guessing.
