Let me get this straight. The author casually accuses someone of "attacking science". And acknowledges that this was an accusation. And then goes on to say that whether it's actually true or not "doesn't really matter". The fact that a journalist can so brazenly admit how little the truth of their own words matter, and expect readers to be ok with it - and to take their side, not in spite of it but because of it - really highlights what Musk is talking about lately. I didn't really see where he was coming from until I read that. It's a shame about all the personal attacks she is getting of course but that's hardly his fault.
