Maybe the problem here is "People tend to erroneously trust research and its premises as fact" because it "tests only one variable or a set of variables and nothing else can account for the results"? If we were to acknowledge that the latter can't in fact be achieved and hence science isn't "fact", then maybe Nisbett is more interesting/useful? Cf Rica Dela Cruz.
