Reuters is so eloquent

Reuters has a headline today: "Studies find gene links to world's biggest killer". earlier I was aprticipating in a discussion about assassin/mercenary/thug/serial killer/torturer/executioner protagonists in slash fiction (short version: I'm totally uninterested in them, where "uninterested" means "I'd rather wash dog poop off the floor than read another one of those"). So of course I thought it was another one of those periodic articles where they find a gene that pops up in fifty-five serial killers and the newsies decide that they must have found the gene for mass murder.

But instead, it was one of those articles where they find a gene in a wad of people with heart disease -- and Reuters actually did okay with putting the findings in scientific perspective.
