They pretty much all do that. It's even worse for documentaries about 
silly things like the Loch Ness Monster, Big Foot, UFOs, etc. where 
they claim to have "new evidence" and "proof" ... only to trot out the 
same old nonsense seen (and debunked as faked) hundreds of times before 
and never actiually prove anything, because of course it's impossible 
to prove the existence of some that doesn't actually exist.
