      The point is that the article gives no context for their statistics. This is super common in science journalism.

      For example, take the articles that came out after the vaping and heavy metal study came out. Vapes have heavy metals in them. Scary!

      What they didn’t mention was that the levels found were lower than atmospheric levels.
