TIMES
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well... You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect...
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.
Make fun of you all want to. I'm a Christian. A decidedly a poor Christian. I try every day to be a good one though. . As a Christian, I do NOT...

All those little queues that set off my warning bells. Shock! How can this be happening?!? It's a bit discouraging coming from the so-called finest minds of our times.
The safest assumption is we don't know a whole lot about what's going on out there. Nowadays science cloaks its self in warm cozy theories--before they look into the telescope/microscope/etc. They're well prepared to say, "that can't be happening!" when they finally do look at the data.
This is not to say they haven't found out some interesting things over the past several decades. They seem to do best with things that can be directly measured in the here and now, which makes sense to me. The downside being that it ends up a little heavy on the weapons technology side of things.
When they start talking about things that are happening 4, 40, or 4 billion light years away, and as many years into the past, you can't help but wonder why they even bother with theories. Hypotheses are as far as they should wander till they can actually go there and see what's happening.
I always wondered why the universe had to be uniform. But I suppose that's the only way to make the theories hold up. A comforting cloak. Wishful thinking.
