Any time in college a teacher asked us to write a paper, we were informed to rely on peer review.
Yeah, but the point is that peer review is meant to ensure that research was conducted properly and that the researchers did not misrepresent the facts. When you get to the discussion, anyone who has thoroughly read the procedure, results, and has an understanding of the topic can form their own interpretation of the facts. You do not have to take everything mentioned in peer reviewed articles to be fact. Especially when the article is on extremely speculative topics.
