“New theory of Ebola replication “ would be more accurate. The idea of Ebola evolving a new and novel way to replicate in humans is not a pleasant thing to pond

“New theory of Ebola replication “ would be more accurate. The idea of Ebola evolving a new and novel way to replicate in humans is not a pleasant thing to ponder lol.
These days, I end up wondering whether this kind of bait and switch title writing has worked its way up to food chain into professional journals. Enshitification
indeed.
- tokai 3y agoThe real title (Ebola: scientists reveal a new way it replicates) is okay. It is the HN user posting it, that has made the problematic editorializing.
- K0balt 3y agoYeah, but even that title teases the possibility that there is a novel, and not merely newly discovered, replication mechanism. I mean, it’s better, and falls into the “surely they don’t mean that…” category, but still.
