    Any time an article says, “Scientists find strange/weird/shocking thing,” I know it’s only strange to the author/editor of the article.

    If scientists were as ignorant as these article authors, supernatural events would have been “proven” long ago.

      Probably not even strange to them, it’s just the nature of science journalism these days. If it’s not strange and new, it doesn’t turn eyes, and therefore there’s little incentive to write about it.
