Journalism is about trust. In a sense, scientific magazines are only as good as their worst articles. My opinion just shifted from "if it's in Quanta, it's probably correct" to "I need to fact-check everything they say".

This article is particularly bad, but I can't remember the last time I saw a Quanta article that didn't grossly misrepresent the research.

The article is brilliant until observed.

Schrödinger's magazine?

Only if these two things were mutually exclusive. But in reality, the underlying assumption is a false dichotomy.
