I also believe that to understand material provided in an article goes far beyond just simply believing what is written... You have to understand the technology used to arrive at the conclusions presented... And most of all you have to understand the capability and limitations of the techniques that are used for collecting data that is used to support the conclusions. In other words... Just because someone said so does not make it factual.
For example the rock that was made yellow in 1841, from which fractional mm measurements are made today and taken as fact that measurements from over 150 years ago are reliable is pure BS.
