Are we too quick to assume that the most recent evidence is inevitably the…

- - - - eq. particle accelerators, vacuum chambers (before don't have these, so many assumptions are made)
      - in NS, knowledge produced mainly rely on technology
    - - eg. NS, before technology, scientist assumes stuff and their finding align with reality, so still accepted as knowledge
    - - eg. taxonomy
- - - - quality of research
        
        most recent = most well-developed methodology (NS)
    - - the context in which the evidence was collected matters, some phenomena may have changed over time or in different settings, making older evidence still relevant or even more reliable.
    - - more recent may be influenced by these biases, older evidence that has gone through scrutiny and adjustment may be stronger
- - - - layman: have not sufficient background knowledge to consider many other factors when considering the strength of an evidence
        
        result in; "quick" to assume
      - research society: since they PRODUCE knowledge, they gotta know whether an evidence is actually strong
        
        so they are not too "quick" to assume
- - - - This can result in the public quickly accepting recent evidence without a full understanding of the scientists' actual confidence in the findings.
      - lead to unwarranted enthusiasm or concern about recent evidence
