Reply to comment by rosellem in Mitochondrial DNA Is Working Its Way Into the Human Genome by molrose96

Only goes to show what passes for a “normal” headline these days. I’d say the headline misdirects the reader with an vague inference, and it’s up to them to run through the article to straighten themselves out (if they can understand the details). The tone of the headline itself is almost worrying if you have no idea what they’re suggesting.

Yes! You need to read articles to not be ignorant. That's the way it has always worked. That's not something that happens "these days".

I would rather not panic people into reading an article - I’d prefer to encourage them instead of generating a fight-or-flight response. That’s my point.
