I care about the process of determining truth. If one does expert deferral, then they should do so properly. Sadly Nature is expending their social capital as a scientific journal to pivot to a typical news organization.

If one is up to date with sc news, this article should not affect their beliefs.

But maybe some people are happy that they can share an article from Nature to convince their friends.

Nature has had a news section since 1869 [1]. There are many things to criticise about them, but the science journalism is not one of them.

What did Nature do wrong in this case. Be specific. And show us where the findings are replicated. That should be easy.
It is sad to see that even nature may be a victim of sociological decay.
