27. The CSI effect
OK, it predates the "CSI" franchise by a good bit, but cop shows have only made it worse. People don't like how ambiguous and unsatisfying investigations are. I don't either. But that's pretty much all investigations. Hell, have you ever been on a jury for a serious crime? It's really not that clear what's happened, ever. It's not that Wellstone's crash or JFK's death or 9/11 are settled questions; it's that nothing at all is easy to settle unambiguously, and these stories are no different. You're not going to find some evidentiary silver bullet that's going to suddenly explain everything abnormal in any one of these, just like you wouldn't in a normal murder or plane crash.
