It's a legitimate reason to be a bit skeptical.
That said, it's worth remembering that 95% is very certain by the standards of observational astrophysics. The high sigma levels that particle physics produces are entirely due to having a computerised accelerator doing gazillions of repetitions of the same experiment. A luxury astrophysics doesn't have.
Transporting the particle mindset to astrophysics is not really sensible.
