His claim is hyperbolic, but only from the perspective of the way that scientific research has been conducted for the last 10-15 years. Prior to this, many researchers were forced to tell "a story" because the sheer volume of data and complexity in fields like cellular biology was/is so massive. This does not mean that their findings were in any way intentionally deceptive, it's simply that it was impossible to cover all the ground necessary to tell the whole story. However, as data analysis techniques have become more powerful and data more easy to produce thanks to advances in the scientific methodologies we use to access information about the matter we are studying, the datasets are getting bigger but also easier to manage.
