Why isn't "in mice" an automatic flag for posting? This is not a breakthrough in Alzheimer's nor is it headline news in Alzheimer's research.

Why isn't "in mice" an automatic flag for posting? This is not a breakthrough in Alzheimer's nor is it headline news in Alzheimer's research.
- bookofjoe 1y agoI asked this question in Ask HN about six months ago but received little support and much criticism.
- eli_gottlieb 1y agoI emphatically support flagging all "medical" articles in which mice are the only species used as a disease model.
- inglor_cz 1y agoWhy should it be? Because of lacking relevance? The community can find even research in mice interesting - look just how much debate has this topic produced here. We're not an Alzheimers research forum, we are a bunch (tribe? murder?) of nerds who like to gab about new things. You'd have a better point if the "in mice" was hidden somewhere in the text - for subtle dishonesty, but as long as the title admits it openly, I don't see a reason to flag the submission in itself.
