...Critics claim that Ford's biggest mistake was introducing a low-cost X series that buyers shunned for essentially being too Ford-like. "They tried to make Jaguar a full-line BMW on the cheap," Nagley says, but the public wasn't interested in "pale imitations with appalling style." At Land Rover, however, it got the product mix right and sales increased - they jumped 18% last year to 226,400. So why is Ford also unloading Land Rover? "I think they're desperate for cash.

...Similarly a reliance on authority figures casts a skewed image on science. Science is not based on the words of one person; it is a collaborative process of discussions and revision by the entire scientific community. The words of the researchers should pale in importance when compared to the evidence. However, detailed accounts of evidence in scientific journalism are few and far between. Entire articles can be often published without the smallest amount of necessary information. What chemical is being tested? What is the sample size? What is the p-value?
