Yes, the problem seems to be that the general public is expecting journals/conferences that are essentially implemented by a research community as a tool for their ongoing research workflow, to fit to the goals of informing the general public - but there reasonably would/should/must be a gap of something like a year (or many years) between the finding must be initially published so that others can work on that research, and the time when the finding is reasonably verified by other teams (which necessarily happens a significant time after it's been published) and thus is ready to be used for informing public policy.
It's like the stages of clinical research - there we have general standards on when it is considered acceptable to use findings for actually treating people (e.g. phase 3 studies), but it's obviously clear that we need to publish and discuss the initial findings since that's required to actually get to the phase 3 studies. However, the effects seen in phase 1 studies often won't generalize to something that actually works in clinical practice, so if general public reads them then often they'll assume predictions that won't come true.
