Lying & skirting work is the MO for the current US administration. We should just assume anything coming from the white house is fantasy at this point. It would be news when something truthful gets reported.

I'm going to assume this is lying more than laziness.

There's no point in publishing results that don't already confirm their non-scientific based answers.

Agree, but regardless of partisanship the majority of the population will take shortcuts at their job if that's what gets them home soonest with the least effort. And we're on the cusp of the Shortcut Era.
I really don't care if, as a random example, whoever is closing the old navy takes a shortcut by not folding every last cardigan. I don't care who they voted for or if they voted at all.

This is not the same thing as misinformation about healthcare spreading from the White House.

The entire point of leadership roles is that they're supposed to be better than the average.
