I get tired of "X-Year-Old Does Such and Such" posts. If the accomplishment is newsworthy enough on its own, why can't it stand on its own merit?

- bcrescimanno 14y agoA new pancreatic cancer test is absolutely newsworthy on its own (especially if this one proves out in broader studies). The fact that it was done by a 15-year old makes it even more impressive. It's not unreasonable to applaud a young person for being way ahead of the curve.
- twistedanimator 14y agoYou must not have much experience being around teenage boys. An improved test for pancreatic cancer is not something normally coming forth from that demographic.
- snowwrestler 14y agoBecause it's even more newsworthy that a 15-year-old did it, and news sites are in a constant battle for our attention. Why would this tire you out, though?
