Yes. The "prestigious journals" aren't helping. Nature used to mostly cover biology, and had reviewers who understood that. Now, "Nature" is a brand covering a wide range of topics, badly.

Then there are university PR departments, who hype every little lab result into a world-changing breakthrough. This is particularly bad in energy-related areas. (I want some publication to reprint, each month, battery PR from 1, 5, and 10 years ago.)
