That is an interesting read Mike. The fact that something like the Dover Monkey Trial (sorry, not related directly to the article I know) could even have existed as late as 2004 was a concern and I think the dumbing down of science has probably continued despite the win.
I always get a good laugh at comments from people like 'The Pathetic Kleenex" but then end up with a shiver down my spine instead. There are too many people around now that would like to see us back in the dark ages!
I would have hoped the situation for scientists in Australia to be a little better but maybe not.
