It’d be nice if HN could edit any and all titles that attribute beliefs to “scientists” as a collective. Wouldn’t you agree that it’s a bit sloppy?

- DarkWiiPlayer 6y ago1. "scientists" does not mean all scientists 2. This time, it says scientist believes (note the singular)
- usgroup 6y agoThe title got changed since I posted the comment (thank you!). “Scientists” doesn’t mean all scientists; I agree. But: “Scientists say the world is flat” “Two scientists high on crack say the world is flat” You’d agree that the latter provides some vital context whilst the two don’t exclude each other.
