I don't think MIT and MIT's marketing department is really the same thing. It's not that the authors are writing this stuff.

- shermantanktop 2y agoYeah, but it’s MIT’s marketing department. Science communication is kind of their thing. What I’ve observed is that when one person tries to summarize detailed information from another person, there are thresholds where the information passes from overly simplified to wrong. The original author is outraged by even basic simplification, well short of the wrongness threshold; but the summarizer blows past the threshold breezily as they delete words to get the text to fit.
