I pretty much agree with mdcc_tester, it's not my job to police stupidity. Besides, that's everywhere and it would be exhausting (whilst also sometimes requiring me to police myself).
But in the case of those 2 comments both within the Covid-19 science thread, yeah... for a place where people are looking for fact, very flawed interpretations of papers are not helpful at all. I cannot edit the posts to correct this as that makes me a publisher, and so my choice is to leave them fully or replace them fully, and I've chosen the latter in this case. In most threads though... I wouldn't care less, but in the Covid science thread where people are looking for solid info... I care.
