    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.

          It is misleading, for someone to be misleading they must mislead, and the headline misleads.

          You didn’t say it, but when someone else did you became extremely pedantic, “corrected them” to maintain your perceived moral high ground, and straight up invented a strawman to not have to discuss it.

          So you basically did say it.

              Your entire comment is about correcting OP. None of it addresses the headline. That’s a strawman.

                but the publications are grossly misleading

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

                This one? Where I say the publication is not misleading, only the headline? You don’t understand what a strawman is.

                Your comment history indicates you’re pervasively angry about little things like this. What’s up with that?

                  When you think looking at someone’s comment history is valid as an argument lmao. Just add ad hominem to the list. Or are you going to climb on a second high horse and say I don’t know what that is either? You’re a clown.

      “article” vs “publication”

      Two different things.

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