Well that is a great example

The. BBC headline: CURED! CURED, I TELL YA!

Meanwhile in the article: its progression hasbeen slowed by 75%

Yeah, that is awesome still, but that is not cured. This sort of clickbait headlines are a prime example of the problem in /science and in science in general.

Everything needs to be a success, a revolution, something Mike dropping. Nobody wants gradual improvement anymore
