That can be true. But, one thing we can do to minimize the likelihood of that is to make sure we understand everything the authors' are saying, the data they use to support it, and how their analytic framework influences their decisions. Unfortunately, each of us needs to do a critical peer review of pretty much everything we read.
edit; and a healthy dose of mindfulness won't hurt either.
