Since LLMs are essentially summarizing relevant content, this makes sense. In "objective" fields like math and CS, the vast majority of content aligns, and LLMs are fantastic at distilling the relevant portions you ask about. When there is no consensus, they can usually tell you that ("this is nuanced topic with many perspectives...", etc), but they can't help you resolve the truth because, from their perspective, the only truth is the content.
