Yes, the popular press, and the popular scientific press also, present too much as absolutes when they should be qualifying. And they go to the other extreme also, and qualify where they shouldn't. The K-T impact is a fine example. Boom, done. And paleontologists as good as Bakker go hand waving about disease and climate. Certainly one of my pet peeves.
