A reference to Moore's law in the lead paragraphs of
an article in popular media is a useful diagnostic.
If the law is mentioned at all, usually in ~200 words,
I expect the writer to handwave with low signal/noise
about some supposedly latest-and-greatest tech and I
can decide whether to read the rest of the article.
If the writer butchers an explanation of Moore's law,
I can simply skip the rest of the article, confident
that there will be enough other errors to drown out
any surviving signal.
