So what? We have people believing in flat earth and fake moon landings, thinking vaccines are evil, homeopathy, following religions created by people giving video interviews. There will be dummies willing to believe in anything. They should not matter how science is shaped.

Right, but does overly hand-wavy explanations representing itself as actual science help or hinder? If people conclude that "this is what science is like" then _no wonder_ we have the current informational problems. If people will "believe anything" then isn't that an argument against, rather than for, giving them more of the same?
