Completely agree that the response is a trope at this point. I've seen more comment section finger wagging in response to science articles, offering such wisdom as correlation isn't causation, XYZ "isn't a panacea", research into treatments to mitigate or avoid cancer "don't cure cancer", statistical confidence of 95% falls short of absolute proof, and any number of extraneous add-ons that make caricatures of the research and then bat those caricatures down. It reminds me of this quip from the Onion, back in 2009: "All that in just six years? Wow, that's so amazing. If you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic. And I'm being sarcastic because I don't understand the significance of the study." https://www.theonion.com/cow-genome-outlined-1819560275 |
