Sometimes I wonder if they do that kind of thing on purpose just to prod their viewership into thinking for themselves a bit.

Or maybe it's that the producers and the video editors don't understand the science very well, and they sometimes accidentally edit out some of the more important stuff. Knowing just how complicated their productions schedule must be, I could imagine that this sort of thing occasionally goes unnoticed before it's too late for a re-edit.
