stupidity >biologists.com Need I mention the reproducibility crisis, poor funding models, retractions from front-page of nature within the single field... "Naivete" I can agree with. Stupidity is not and should _never_ be encouraged or endorsed. Even if common use of American English tends to push the meaning of the former onto the latter. Definitions of words are very important when communicating openly and honestly. This is not an attack on commonly used words in American language, it's an observation. British English (and I assume others) are following suit as America leads the way in "english-speaking" culture. Mixing word definitions is entering into a quasi-mixed up state where people don't know the exact definitions of words which makes difficult good-faith conversation difficult.
