A FrontBurnervian points out that I’m dumb:
The link you provided shows 16 articles, and 13 of them deal with a new study out of the University of Rochester published in the journal Nature Medicine. Wasn’t your intern’s scoop out of UTSW, and to be published in the journal Cell? Three of the links, near the bottom of the Google news page, appear to follow your intern. They come from The Washington Times via a UPI report, Monsters&Critics.com and I-Newswire.com. Since when do those three outfits–or even the UPI–qualify as “the herd?”
Mea culpa. I confess that I ran the Google search but then didn’t pay close enough attention to the results that popped up. [gunshot]
