Science is not unimpeachable, no matter how many times you try to appeal to authority. I’ve personally read many papers from prestigious institutions where the conclusions seem flashy but the methodology is suspect. It’s possible (even expected) for two researchers to come to differing peer-reviewed conclusions for the same circumstance. Some scientists wrote a paper in a journal, others wrote to the journal to disagree. It’s a normal day in academia and how science progresses, not ‘shooting from the hip’. Without being involved in this particular field, it’s nearly impossible for a layperson to draw conclusions either way.
