That is a great comment and I 100% agree with it. I don't think it is limited to the field of neurobiolgy either. I tried to express this through the institute of LIES in the piece.

I think partly it is because people like black or white, yes or no answers. They don't like uncertainties - grey areas.

The problem is that life seems to be full of grey areas.

Yes, uncertainty tends to be an uncomfortable feeling. This is likely why so many people buy into such deceptions.
