I don't necessarily agree that evidence needs to be overwhelming, only a preponderance. It does strike me that scientific opinion is divided on this issue. People who think one thing think the science adequately debunk the 'bad faith actors' (to use your term) on the other, and vice versa. It may be that it becomes more settled in time, and we reach something approaching a consensus.
