So true. Yet, much funding comes from people who seek the certainty those press-releases provide and we end up with a cosy conspiracy of misinterpretation and exaggeration.
I'm not so sure about science being self-correcting either. How do you know it isn't lurching from one misunderstanding of reality to another? Is that being taken on blind faith? Maybe I'm just a sceptic.
