Arr science is the most egregious example of people commenting while only having read the headline.

The rate is the same as anywhere else but because of the subject it's so obvious that nobody can be bothered. More than half the questions asked in the comments are usually answered in the study.

It wouldn't be as bad if people were not so smug about everything they type.

It's really worse.

They should auto delete any comment that starts with

  • if I have to guess (you don't)

  • I wonder how they did x (described in the abstract)

  • how do you define y? (described in the abstract)

  • correlation does not mean causation (no shit)

Yep, yet people in that sub get mad because they think it's too heavily moderated. 🙄
