The exact nature of long COVID is still coming to light, but we just got some of the best evidence yet that this debilitating condition stems from a brain injury.
I don’t really understand what the difference between the fixed and og version is.
The fixed version is slightly is better, I agree, but I wouldn’t call it a necessary fix.
You are judging a field specialist(s) on basically their communication skills. We can’t all structure sentences well, brainholes work differently, wording thoughts is hard.
It’s a bit like bitching how a perfectly working shovel isn’t ornate enough since if it was it would have been more pleasant to work with - it’s prob true but it’s such a low gain ‘nice-to-have’ feature people generally don’t bother with it.
Imho narratives need to be pleasant and/or artistic, eg I expect a novel to be written good (tho absolutely not a huge point for me), I don’t expect that from a game theory book, I expect it to be correct. (Another example might be how stupidity convoluted laws/contracts/t&a are written.)
What I kinda demand (only slightly irrationally or at least to an impractical extend) is that the subject is conveyed in an exact manner. I expect exact communicating overall.
And the og text you quoted is exact.
Oh … and at both ends it’s literacy - their (+to some extend whoever proofread it) literacy levels shows how eloquently they conveyed their data & thoughts, your literacy level shows how you though they are contradicting themselves.
Oh, a journalist, then bitch on :D (no /s, after all, random bitching is a fair part of lemmy).
But I think people replied to your og message because of the (mis?)use of the word “contradictory”, not because of the bitching as such.
(And Im mostly here bcs I like to understand myself, like what triggered you sceptically & how the same thing played in my mind)
because of the ~~(mis?)~~use of the word “contradictory”,
I used that only in my second comment, after the first person got flustered :) Go up two more in the comment chain and you’ll see my original comment.
Although, I stand by the second comment as well - the article is contradicting itself.
If I say
The square root of -1 is i
[…]
The square root of -1 is not defined.
[…]
Only to THEN go on to explain what imaginary numbers are, then I have still contradicted myself :)

Or am I?
Also, it’s not my fault that people got all flustered about me simply pointing out that poor phrasing with “do they even proofread?”
Edit: goat -> got
