There is a difference between an informal understanding that a lot of published papers are, to a degree, wrong, and screaming in Washington Post "more than 50% of research papers are wrong!" (and not even bothering to say "in medical field" in the title!). People who understand how research process works are very aware of the degree to which the results should (or rather shouldn't) be trusted.
