Haha, I suppose that's true. There will always be the few tidbits where there is enough evidence to make factual statements about what is found at a site. The rest is going to be speculation; some of it based on educated guesses, and some of it pure imagination.
I can understand the wonder and excitement that comes with imagining how the pieces fit together. Everyone likes to dig (pun!) their teeth into a mystery. If an article is going to contain more than the proven facts, I just wish they'd lay out multiple possible scenarios rather than a single "it was probably this one convoluted option".
Then again... as long as they explicitly label all the conjecture with "maybe/possibly/probably", they're at least not being outright misleading - which leaves room for each person to wring their own brain for other options. I guess I want the people who know the most about these things to lay out more reasonable possibilities for me, instead of making me put in the effort to imagine it all for myself. :D
