When it comes to contentious claims it's important IMO to search out the best quality pro and con perspectives and weigh them using the principles of critical thinking so as to arrive at the most reasonable hypothesis given the available evidence, and in particular, avoid making definitive statements unless the evidence fully substantiates it, and that includes avoiding any weasel wording that might lead readers to draw biased conclusions.
