This is a problem caused by anyone who confidently claims that it's not real. Regardless of any reservations about claims that it is real, it is an equally wrong claim to say it is not. We simply don't know, and stories like this are helpful for learning.

How can you say "we don't know"? The evidence seems overwhelming.

I personally have a strict definition of "know". Per your point, we may "know" by a certain definition. At least "we have reason to justify more research" is something I would agree with.
