Experts often qualify their answers and a certain segment of the population sees this as weak. It makes sense if you consider the strength of your faith being an asset you would view any nuance as weakness.
This is the issue. Experts effectively speak in another language than the rest of us, and the dummies/(honestly mostly) intentionally disengenuous among us use that to disqualify experts.
Experts know there’s a margin of error. Dummies are easily convinced by the intentionally disengenuous that the margin of error accounted for means it’s all bullshit.

Uh no, if I’m looking up how to troubleshoot an issue with my computer’s motherboard, I don’t want to be told to slather it in banana pudding just because I like bananas. There ARE things where you can’t “bias” your way out of it, things that are objectively correct and incorrect.
There ARE things where you can’t “bias” your way out of it, things that are objectively correct and incorrect.
There are still people who believe the world is flat.
The things you believe are objectively correct and incorrect are not the same for everyone.
That is the problem,
Reality is not the same for everyone and many people believe they have the right to enforce their version of reality on others.
