I understand what you are saying, as humans we like things to be black or
white, not a shade of grey. I've been watching the news a lot lately and it
is so apparent. They report what scientists say about lots of things as

I think that this may have always been the way. It doesn't mean that the
report is wrong, and I know at some point, you have to make decisions based
on scientist's educated guesses. I find it odd that we seldom hear an
opposing theory.
