Tldr; - it’s genes and environment. Not much science actually discussed.

  BBC has become a tabloid and this article resonates that. I also don't understand why is it that we need to dumb things down for people to be interested in it? Technical details are interesting even if I don't fully understand it. It shows rigor and depth on the journalist's part.

    I think it might just be the time we are in. Attention spans are shorter due to technological distractions. The BBC simply adapted to serve the LCD

  Expecting more from the BBC will only result in further disappointment. They know their audience and know that they can drop a word like science for immediate, unquestionable authority on the topic without having to provide substantial evidence. This is why I bristle when people use that word these days. It's used as a trump card and as a way to castigate those who people disagree with politically (science deniers) without having to have a real conversation. Science is messy, contradictory, and constantly evolving and that's why true scientists love it! It is by no means something to stand blindly behind and to use as a baton against your enemies.
