Follow the money. There's no money in drawing conclusions about and publishing on basic physics. Does the Microwave Background Radiation show that the Universe is open or closed? It's really just an academic discussion that has no financial winners or losers either way besides a Nobel prize at some point, so the science tends to be fairly unbiased.
On the other hand, there's a great deal of money in science that affects the human body, like cancer research, drug research, as well as the social sciences. When there's a lot of money and hype around a field of science, we should keep our bs detectors on high alert.
