HN is such an amazing community. Where else could you find commenters that know better than the scientists authoring the Nature article in question, and can then identify exactly why their own thinking is so much deeper than of most other people?
They don't know better, they try to understand better. Why not?
To me it sounds like someone who clearly has a deeper understanding of the topic than those scientists. And I love that.
It paints a blanket picture, with no qualifications (read a few articles at best), and belittles what the scientists in general "do".
