You’re not wrong, but it is everyone’s own responsibility to read the article and not just the headline.

You’re not wrong, but it is everyone’s own responsibility to read the article and not just the headline.
- newswasboring 3y agoSo it's ok to lie in a portion of your work? Where do you draw the line? I draw it when someone starts communicating. Being wrong is ok, being deceitful isn't.
- caddemon 3y agoIs this headline really deceitful though? Certainly the research is flawed, but the statement "[bad thing] is alarmingly common" is basically just a subjective statement that lets you know what position the author is going to argue.
- newswasboring 3y agoI will never understand why everyone bends over backwards to justify lazy af journalism. This a magazine which is supposed to do scientific journalism, yet it didn't even mention the points that readers in HN comments were able to figure out on a cursory look. Peer review isn't just the 3 reviewers who accept or reject something in a journal. It's everyone in the scientific community.
- ouid 3y agoResponsibility is not conserved in a robust system. This is true and it is also the journal's responsibility to not mislead.
- Retric 3y agoExpecting people to read every single article posted to HN is unrealistic. Simply reading a title and on a topic you don’t find interesting then gives people the wrong impression.
