Care to offer a more substantive dismissal, Mr. Betteridge?

  Not really. I'm not Betteridging here. Epigenomics is exciting science but there is nothing here that indicates you would be able to take this and treat people with it and extend their lives without unpredictable and ambiguous side effects. (I work in drug discovery and am very familiar with this field; my complaint is about the headlines that massively overstate the significance of results. This is a very common problem and I generally work to make people understand the reality behind the hype.)

    I'd say it's more of a clickbait.
