Scientists Are Seldom Baffled, Actually

Dr. Robin Tanamachi:

Readers evidently like to imagine that the relentless brainiacs they knew in high school, whose hands eagerly shot up to correctly answer every question the science teacher asked, and whose test scores they could never hope to exceed, are now utterly flummoxed by some data point that they can’t immediately explain.

A very coherent description of the disconnect between media and science.
