Anyone with a full brain knows that putting scientific phrasing into layman's conversation conveys a much dumber message than is intended. "scientists assume..." yes because without making assumptions, they'll never calculate anything. Assumptions get tweaked as evidence is presented. "Scientists can't explain why..." scientists do not have a foolproof explanation. They have theories that are likely and make sense, bit nobody knows for absolutely certain that it's true and extremely accurate. "Historians don't know what happened..." because they weren't there, but they probably have some good ideas.
