Wish that could be the case. But, if the truth be know then no one can give just the facts when your opponents believe their ideologically-motivated ends justify any manes no matter how dishonerable they may be.
For example:
“If you’re trying to move a legislative committee or millions of voters, one victim beats statistics and graphs every time. Oddly enough, Joseph Stalin said it best. “One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic.”
“Due to public concerns and in response to Gasland, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission tested the methane from this burning faucet. Their scientific analysis proved that this flaming gas was biogenic (near surface) in origin as opposed to the thermogenic gas that comes from deep shale gas deposits. But have you ever tried to explain the difference between biogenic and thermogenic gas to a homeowner? The Commission had tried to speak with Gasland’s producer during the filming, but no self-respecting documentary producer wants to lose a great shot like this flaming faucet…”
