By "like this" perhaps you mean something like "interesting". There's a bias towards good storytelling, especially in magazine articles that make their way to many eyed, like this one. Optimizing for a compelling read had to degrade the actual predictive value. How much, hard to say, and of course if you want anyone to pay attention you need to present it well. Bit, beware a well told story - it might be the rhetorical skill you're responding to, not any real expertise. (I'm looking at you, Oxford people :D :D)
