HN has loose posting standards, but /r/science is heavily moderated. They zealously delete comments witn an inch of speculation, but for some reason allow University press releases, whose only purpose is to take a science paper and dress it up in a pile of nonscience for marketing use. I don't understand why the mods there allow it.
