Dismissing the examples I provided because they were reported in the media is not effective counterpoint.
If you doubt the examples then find a comparable counterexample. Here's another one.

Misconduct accounts for the majority of retracted scientific publications ( Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ). If they are wrong let's see your evidence.

Then "your view" remains closed to the advancements made by some really intelligent people over long periods of time. Why would you want to limit yourself that way?
