25 days agoWriting it was “discovered less than 150 years ago” is way more than a reader-friendly oversimplification, and it absolutely is not obvious to someone with no expertise in this stuff. Without seeing this discussion, I for sure would’ve thought that they’re claiming nobody knew the animal even existed before that. And I don’t have the knowledge to even recognize that as a claim worth fact-checking, let alone correctly interpret that they meant something different. So yeah, not great journalism here.

Well that’s easily solved though, just pick the religion that promises the worst punishment for non-believers, then!
