Can I ask if this is the same in other fields? Are economics articles
also edited by people who think the stockmarket is the place where Jamie
Oliver buys vegetable cubes for making soup?
In my experience most scientists are well aware that reporters don't
write the headline, they just disagree that it should be this way and
find this a rather weak excuse for sloppy work. If the editor doesn't
know what he's doing, then he simply shouldn't do it, and newspapers
should revise their procedures to ensure quality.
