> I do however think that anthropomorphizing it actually detracts from the exciting response observed. Sure, we don't want scientists to overestimate the impact of new findings. And perhaps that's what is going on here. But it's daft to try to convince others to be more sensible about new findings by offering up an unscientific musing about an alternative to an existing field. Especially when that musing includes no experimentation, no predictions, and no citations. As unfortunate as it is, sometimes there is just no way around reading an article and replying based on the actual content of it.
