The problem, dang, is that some of the submissions here are generic submissions (health is a chronic topic here, because we all desire to be healthy), and not submissions based on a line-by-line reading of a few different sources to see which one is worthy of discussion here. A university press release about a small-n preliminary research finding rarely deserves more dismissal than noting it is a publicity puff piece about an unsettled conclusion.

We only discuss what's submitted here. The first filter that distorts reality here is what never gets submitted, because it is thoughtful and nuanced and takes too much thinking to read and discuss.
