Holy shit!
My fellow scientists are REALLY smrat!
...
Reading through the latest scientific "breakthroughs", I often stop and go "wait...what?"
It seems science is becoming lazy. To the point of using knowledge already known, to produce new studies and claim recognition.

So apparently white rooftops in cities could lower the overall temperature of the city. NO, REALLY?! We have known for decades that white reflects the most UV light, and thus heat radiation. Swing and miss, gentleman...not a bona fide breakthrough.
