    but the publications are grossly misleading.

    I think you’re only referencing the headline, the article itself clearly states what you said

        When one says a publication is grossly misleading, it certainly implies the entire publication

            You’re not wrong, but we also should stop excusing, normalizing, and accepting wildly exaggerated for sales purposes titles of articles.

              We should stop accepting lies.

              Unless there is some way this reaction actually did produce twice the energy input, it’s not misleading it’s a lie.

          Why have we accepted the standard of misleading headlines? “Oh well you didn’t read the article, I guess you and 90% of eyeballs get to be fundamentally misinformed” is an unhinged take.

            I never said a misleading headline was acceptable. I said the publication is not misleading and that it covers the criticisms dude up above was leveling.

          “article” vs “publication”

          Two different things.

          The link takes you to an article. Publications are in actual scientific journals, not intended for popular consumption.

        What was your question? I only read “is the” and thought I could base my response off of only that.

        When I see “publication” I assume it’s the actual scientific paper and not the article reporting on said paper.

        It’s easier to nitpick than it is to interact with the actual argument.

        I agree with you. The headline is misleading, and I think it devalues the article.
