I would rather have incomplete knowledge of a topic than none. The toughest part of learning something, like so many other cases, is in getting started.

Also, I can't be sure pending research into this, but I would be surprised if these reports ended up worse than the typical news story attempting to cover such things.

I think the more important part of that sentence is "or misleading".

"We don't know what happens if you drink cyanide." is different than "You should drink cyanide."
