"Scientific American (informally abbreviated SciAm or sometimes SA) is an American popular science magazine." That's the first sentence of the wiki article on Scientific American.

Popular science magazines have their place, but it's understandable, unfortunately, that non-scientists such as yourself who can't handle the rigour of real peer-reviewed articles confuse such approachable publications with the technical nitty-gritty of proper science. In recent weeks you've made several erroneous assertions about this disease, for example, to illustrate the point. Perhaps you'll check things out a bit more carefully before you issue your next tirade of jealous insults.
