I totally get what you're saying about how it was a show that left things vague, but I think that was also the point. Its sort of that idea that the journey is more important then the destination. That trying to find out if there are extra-terristials is worth looking into, but without saying, there are in fact aliens out there. That uncertainly was defined more in the earlier seasons, with the Mulder/Scully partnership. Mulder had the blind faith, Scully questioned things more. They could never tip the scale fully one way. In the later seasons though you knew they were on the side of Mulder's way of thinking. Which you can argue hurt the show, because the vagueness was sort of the point.
