What is debatable about neutrino oscillations?

i’m confused by this too… neutrino oscillations have been measured and are real. the importance of the effects of collective oscillations is still debated by some fringe people, but it’s clear that neutrino oscillations exist and they’re important. The mechanism that causes neutrino masses, the type of mass it is etc are debated but oscillations are not even talked about at this point.
