unfortunately, for a good portion of the population, including
otherwise very intelligent people, Science=Fact=Literal. If a
Scientist says it, it's *literally* true. They forget that:
Scientists are Humans who speak in Metaphors. The thing about a
metaphor: it takes a lot of existing knowledge in the receiver
to interpret the logic of the metaphor being used _properly_ and
without the same internal logic... false connections are easily
made.
