That's a dig as obviously there's no such thing as a "gold standard" and no one has claimed it is. If you feel that way then maybe that's rooted in black and white them or us thinking... In reality there's only a scale of reliability of media outlets and a level of veracity for individual articles.

Your personal incredulity doesn't really factor into things. Lack of evidence supports both "nothing happened" and "there's a massive coverup by the powerful", picking one over the other goes back to putting the beliefs cart before the support horse.

There's random articles on the Internet for EVERYTHING. Beliefs don't have to be a true/false proposition. I can completely believe 10% there's a chance that something is true, act according to the 90%, but still be open to changing those percentages if things change in the future. I don't have to pick the "right belief" now and forever.
