I stumbled across this

If you look at the harmful phrases scientists can use that can be harmful it turns out "discovery" is one.

Tricky ...

Thoughts ?

I was thinking about this since posting it and it does seem to be connected to something akin to Johnny Morris, all those years back who did kids animals programs

He is in disfavour nowadays as Anthropomorphism run riot apparently.

That's 30 points on scrabble by the way and stealing tiles.

Science should be science but popularising it gets the younger generation on board.

Saying you can't have certain words .. that is a negative aspect that does not foster the scientific goal of incremental expansion without any constraints.

Words are just words after all.
