Trust is a wonderful thing... in a world where most people are trustworthy.
In a world where the replication crisis is a thing and a third of psychology studies replicate?
In a world where the vast majority of "science" stories published in news sites are grossly misleading or wrong?
It's important to destroy that trust.
Though I do have one problem with this article. It implies the main problem in the reality->public pipeline is the scientists themselves, when it's actually journalists, university PR teams and the general public in that order. (Though blaming the last is in poor taste as they're time poor comparing to the others and have no training in how PR teams and journalists mislead)
