Well we only have so much time in our lives John. I can fit in work, sleep,
going to the bathroom, playing with my son, wasting time watching TV, fixing
the toilets, photography, etc., etc. etc. When I read a scientific or
pseudo-scientific article and see quotation marks I accept it as such. When
the quotation marks end then I read it in a different light.
I didn't intend to broadly paint the scientific community as a whole in a
bad light, even though I used the phrase scientific community. I am not
anti-science at all, it's one of my favorite subjects. My poor choice of
words has unfortunately led to that appearance.
And I did mention headlines at first , which you are correct, is not
necessarily what scientists say. I stand corrected on that.
