Well in an emergency, once can be the difference between decades of life or near-immediate death, so I'd still call this a massive win..
Fair enough. I guess I'll stop being excited about the good news and instead focus on how it could have been better ๐
Don't whine. You were presented with a learning opportunity and your reflex was to be shitty? That's not very mature, son. Do better.
I'm not whining, just teasing the one who, in spite of agreeing that it's definitely a win, saw it necessary to yuck on everyone's yum in UPLIFTING News of all places. ๐
This group is meant as a more hopeful counterweight to all the negative stuff in all other news groups and, for some, help not feeling that the world is only irrevocably fucked up. To be a wet blanket in such a group is a SPECIAL level of grouchiness lol
Hard agree! Thank you for saying this!!
one of the problems with scientific literacy today is that on the web the value of nearly every new study, drug, technique, etc is overstated by both the media and the public. This is probably because overstating things increases engagement.
Imo things can just be small steps in the right direction and that's ok.
Man, science communication is in a bad spot if all they're doing is blunting people's expectations and, as the previous user very aptly mentioned "yucking everyone's yum".
This is why people make fun of Neal Degrass Tyson, many times his explanations are both pedantic and unnecessary, which I would argue is the same as the comment that started this thread.
Especially when what they were talking about was actually listed in the article!
