I agree SciAm has, for years now, tended to produce less and less
fact and more and more fashionable opinion. I find it now more-
or-less on a par with Discover, while SciAm used to be much better.
It's still not bad in general, but it's a pity I now have to
check the evidence in each article to see if it justifies the
claims and opinions. The trends are definitely in the wrong direction.
