    OK that's settled then.

    There has been a near universally negative reaction to this article. I don't think we objected to some fairly harmless speculation- but it was just embarrassing to see the misuse of some fairly well understood scientific terms, which could have been avoided. I'm not the first to suggest this, but clearly a lot of us would be much happier if Salon hired a scientific editor. Salon's science coverage clearly needs to be improved.
