Yeah, the whole "they lied!" nonsense is deeply frustrating. People simultaneously want experts to be responsive and provide information immediately but have no tolerance for "as best we now know" or "given the current circumstances" advice. You can't simultaneously get the most recent cutting-edge information and only get what's been long-settled and validated.
