In his essay, U. S. science writer Boyce Rensberger analyzes whether there is any truth behind the assertions that U. S. citizens are particularly ignorant about science and that the press is to blame for the high interest in pseudoscience. He concludes that many Americans are very interested in science, but cannot distinguish between good and bad science because they do not understand the standards that scientific evidence must meet. Rensberger urges scientists and science writers to pay more attention to the communication of the methods by which results have been achieved. See also the related essay by Roger Highfield.
在美国作家 U. S. 作家 Boyce Rensberger 的文章中，分析了断言美国公民对科学特别无知以及新闻界应该为对伪科学的浓厚兴趣负责的说法是否有任何事实依据。他的结论是，许多美国人对科学非常感兴趣，但由于他们不了解科学证据必须达到的标准，因此无法区分好科学和坏科学。Rensberger 敦促科学家和科学作家更加关注传达结果的方法的交流。另见 Roger Highfield 的相关文章。
