=="Impenetrable" science?==


Editors may have seen ] which named Evolutionary biology articles as examples of "impenetrable science" here on Misplaced Pages. Certainly the first few lines of the current article are not specially inviting; words like "evolution" and "biology" are repeated without much explanation. Perhaps John Timmer had at least some sort of a point when he wrote that "Misplaced Pages fails as an encyclopedia, to science's detriment". Perhaps this is easily fixable here with a little friendly explanation, at least in the leads of a few key articles. ] (]) 10:11, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
