Have to say. Pretty surprised that on HN there is such a strong emotional desire to tear down 'Academia', or even science really. For several months I've noticed that any story about Academia that hints at a problem, or a misstatement, or something over-stated, anything dealing with science, there is just a mad rush to grab torches and scythes, pikes, etc... "Crucify", these people are all con-men. But, if it's a tech company, then all good, just lie all you want, that's just salesmanship, 'selling hype' to promote a product. I fear it is part of the 'post-truth' America where nothing is trusted.
