I wasn’t talking about just this article. Theres a movement to discredit the woman behind the algorithm and trump up a male researcher instead. But the word “deceptive” is in the title of this discussion, as well. I’m sure there are other examples and I’m not going to go searching.

Further, of course a photo of a black hole is going to take some serious science and technology. If it were possible to do directly more easily then this wouldn’t be news.
