After moving from software development to data science, I've observed a change in my terminology when discussing findings. Rather than constructing definitive statements like 'X is greater than Y', I tend to soften it to 'We have evidence that X is greater than Y'. I see it as a move analogous to the move from verificationism to falsification. Though someone with a better grasp on the philosophy of science may have better perspective. If I want to be a good scientific reader, I have to add in 'We have evidence of' to nearly all pop science articles. Article writers either tend to omit this or it ends up being edited out for either obvious or obscure reasons depending on what you believe.
