The article, as it is, is unscientific bullshit. Period.
The words of Dr. Watson, as reported in the article, are unscientific bullshit. Period.
You don't have to "entertain" when talking about science, you have to inform, because when you make science accessible to everyone in this way, you are spreading ignorance and creating the substratum of pseudoscience, since common people won't read the paper, or even click on the link. Maybe not even go past the title (which IS clickbait).
I mean I agree with the sentiment, but that's just scientists vying for eyes on their project and hopefully in turn the money to continue research. That's literally just the way things are done. Don't hate the player dawg.
