Welcome to journalism.
- rTX5CMRXIfFG 4y agoIt’s not just a problem with journalism but with humans in general. People are more imprecise with their comprehension of things than they are willing to admit.
- SantalBlush 4y agoThank you. Even here on HN, plenty of folks will comment on all kinds of research they know little about.
- JohnJamesRambo 4y agoAny thread about nutrition is so painful here.
- d4v3 4y agoAnything related to medicine/biochemistry can get cringe-y pretty quickly here. I think the problem is that the crowd here is generally pretty intelligent, but they know it and it's a coefficient > 1 on the Dunning-Kruger effect

- passivate 4y ago> Even here on HN, plenty of folks will comment on all kinds of research they know little about. I don't see anything wrong with that, because all opinions are not equal. I think there is some level of pressure to get one's word in quickly, otherwise the nebulous cloud of commenters moves on to the next story, and your well-thought-out comment that took hours to write is seen by no-one. If you're responding to someone hoping to get into a nice conversation, you're out of luck since they have no idea you just responded to them.
- highwaylights 4y agoHow many synonyms did you try before you landed on “imprecise”? It’s a very diplomatic choice. Moreso than I’d have gone with. I admire your restraint!
