Fair enough. When I see "so" used in this way I generally see it as meaning "so that", which is also a perfectly valid inference. Perhaps it's an Anlgo/American

Fair enough. When I see "so" used in this way I generally see it as meaning "so that", which is also a perfectly valid inference. Perhaps it's an Anlgo/American grammatical difference?
- jessaustin 8y agoWell it is ambiguous, so that is a headline-writing failure. Especially since this is a common misunderstanding of evolution anyway! In some sense this would be a logical ambiguity even if the writer meant to say that adaptations are goal-driven. Headlines simply shouldn't be written like this. Perhaps we're looking at this the wrong way, however. One gets the sense that most journalists don't really concern themselves with logic and clarity of thought anymore, since their intended audience is similarly unconcerned.
