Not saying it's what happened here, but an unfortunate consequence of the publicity machine is that it's a lot easier to bullshit, overhype, and sell a story with certainty and simplicity than to be honest and talk about the details, with potential limitations and drawbacks. No one wants to write a story about that.
Even the "scientific method" as referenced in the article is not immune to this. There's are definitely similar issues in scientific research as well.
