I'm amazed that I scanned a bunch of comments and it seems like no one read the article and noticed that it's not actually a proper SciAm article, just an Op-Ed. Let me repeat, this is not a proper SciAm article in which some actual academics condense their interesting research into something more easily understood by people outside the field. This is an Op-Ed. It's an opinion. And more specifically, it's an opinion from someone who is most certainly not unbiased.

"Op-ed" doesn't mean anything these days. I've seen plenty of "proper" Scientific American articles that get basic physics horribly wrong, or have a very heavy slant towards a particular point of view.

> it's an opinion from someone who is most certainly not unbiased. What on earth do you think an "opinion" is? Can you give an example of an unbiased opinion?
