It seems to me to mostly depend on your target audience.

Scientists of this field will want full throttle facts,
General scientific types will expect to be convinced by strong backable data
Interested non-scientists may relate more to argument that make sense and are logical rather than specific proof,
The general skeptic reader will not trust any facts and may reject any attempts to convince him by “proofs”
The general reader will not care either for logic or facts, as long as it is interesting.

If you attempt to reach the broadest audience, discard all the boring bits and write a fiction novel on the subject.
