As a kid I doing science, I got taught to use ‘more scientific language’. As an adult I now understand its about conformity to an ideal. Apart from the side effects of making something interesting really boring, it adds a false neutrality that can’t exist.
There is no neutral on a spectrum, only a middle. The difference is subtle but massive. The ‘just the facts’ tone makes a 10% temperature rise sound the same as a 1% temperature rise, as the difference is a literal zero. It really should be reported in science as ‘holy sh!t, all the animals and a lot of people are going to die!’
Science has never been neutral and demanding a neutral tone is another form of ‘shut up’ and conform to the status quo.
