That's the problem. Many scientists are quite good at technical writing (with extensive from the technical staff assigned to them), so they do not tend to write popular articles.
The journalists who write most of the popular articles are illiterate at science, or they would not be journalists in the first place!
These journalists are the ones from whom the majority of folks get their science.
So, no. I am certainly not blaming you for their headline. But I did feel the urge to take a poke at it!

Agreed...but as I have said before, writing snippy putdowns toward those who don't know science, is not going to educate people very much.
Not that you've done that too often...but there seem to be a number of opuses and near-opuses from many of the pro-evo regulars on the crevo threads...
...was this planned earlier on Darwin Central or something?
Cheers!
