When it becomes a spectator sport, it's not longer interest in science, it's just wanting to be part of an in-group. Science includes rationality and that's sorely lacking in most of the discourse around LK-99. The average commentary has as much in common with science as the recent unfounded and unsupported hype around UAPs.

It’s not about reaching everyone. It’s about not turning people off and attracting the otherwise predisposed. It only takes one sour comment to make the fud spread.

I would've thought HN would be the last place where rational skepticism and trust in the scientific method would be confused for "FUD" (a term which has apparently lost all meaning).
