I can not be specific but many times I have spotted some news (science daily type of site) that announces some amazing discovery and somewhere in the article you notice the news is years old
...
I get the feeling (no disrespect to the profession Matt) the writer has had a dead line and a dinner date conflict
, sorted through some of the scientific data bases and found something "newsworthy" and kept the date with his meal
.
I have spent all today happily reading abstracts relating to super nova remnants and there are many interesting things but one never hears about them.
