Thank you for saying this! This is a common view I see outside academia, where people interpret a single paper to mean that something is definitively shown. I think news organizations make this worse. Whenever a new paper comes out they'll champion it as fact if doing so leads to clicks. Peer reviewers can only hope to validate that the science was done well, not that it is inarguably correct. It requires a body of work around a topic before it's fair to say at all that something is "for sure" proven.
