You guys remember that thread about star birth rates decreasing? Facebook mangled it. This is the kind of stuff that makes people believe gravity fails during planetary alignments.

Ergh yup. Might be professional grievance but I think it's worse in the biological and medical sciences. Earlier in the week I saw a headline saying "'Experts' u-turn AGAIN, now fat is good!".

In half the cases it isn't even a change in medical opinion it's just one random guy saying something that goes against a thousand other opinions.
