I can't help but think the myopic way of arguing a position based on lobbing citations at each-other has contributed to this. Just because a study supports your position does not mean "The Science" is on your side, it literally just means a study was performed that reached the conclusion(s) you already wanted to support. The citation is trotted out without any of the meta that goes into actually analyzing the validity and significance of the studies themselves.
