Somebody need to tell the eminent scientist that he's gonna be 99 tomorrow. I always thought that 2nd grade math was a pre-requisite for a PHD. Maybe I'm wrong.

99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the errors and idiocy in science articles in the general press are the fault of the moron reporter who wrote the article or clueless editors, not the scientists quoted in the article, though it's interesting that on FR people tend to blame the scientists, which is interesting; I think reflective of a general dislike of science and Luddite tendences.

Of course the scientists don't complain about the constant errors because they really enjoy being fawned over and the lack of tough questions.
