Out of context "correlation is not causation" comments correlate with HN readership.
The correlation decreases for readers that have done research or at least bother to read the article.
- fhood 9y agoFair, but the headline on this one is offensively inane.
- eeZah7Ux 9y agoI agree but for that blame the journalist, not the scientific validity of the paper.
- criley2 9y agoI disagree, journalists write articles, editors write headlines. Show me a journalist who writes their own headlines, and I'll show you a freelancer who writes for their own publication...
- SteveGerencser 9y agoNo, blame Google and Facebook for forcing everyone to resort to clickbait titles in an effort to get traffic to their websites.
- ritarong 9y agoIn a way it is a race to the bottom when it comes to quality in articles
- godelski 9y agoIt is from IFLS. All headlines there are offensively inane. And I'm honestly surprised IFLS is on the front page of HN.
