Or they develop the critical thinking skills to realize that science is 95% failing and 5% "we don't reject the alternative". It is not absolute, and certainly the scientists themselves are deeply flawed being that they're human.
But here's the thing, people don't have time for this. They have work, bills, home and car maintenance, groceries, kids, friends, a slew of media to consume, recreation on top of it - and they're all dying. So it doesn't matter who says what, they're going to pick the dilute politicized version of the results that their team supports and run with it regardless of what the nigh-unreadable highly specialized papers say. Orwell said it well "I believe that this instinct to perpetuate useless work is, at bottom, simply fear of the mob. The mob (the thought runs) are such low animals that they would be dangerous if they had leisure; it is safer to keep them too busy to think."
And those who do elect the burden of extracurricular mental activity aren't given much in the way of options in any case. What are they to do, disseminate the material to their friends, co-workers, children - quite probably the very same population as mentioned above, weighted with the ceaseless demands of reality? To what end? Chinese whispers? It's better to have them say, "I don't know, I'm not convinced either way." A construal which is developed from adequately exercised critical skills. But that's another discussion about perverse social conditioning no doubt evolved from the deployment of poorly understood technique compounded by its acceptance as custom in education - I'm speaking of course about grading and student assessment. Nobody wants to be stupid at the very least, and professing one's ignorance is construed as an admission of guilt.
