    for sure, I find most of the time science reporting actually makes it harder to understand what the tech does rather than explain it

      In the spirit of dumbing down the plot to make sure viewers don’t turn away, they end up making totally nonsensical (if not misleading) content.

        I suspect that a lot of the time people doing science reporting have a fairly tenuous grasp on the subject themselves as well.
