It’s 2026 and one of the first things that has happened is that a major news outlet has announced that it will no longer seek information from experts.

I don’t think this is gonna help with what I think is the most existential threat to our society currently: disinformation.

Promoting research by reducing uncertainty in academic writing: a large-scale diachronic case study on hedging in Science research articles across 25 years - Scientometrics Hedges are important in academic writing since they indicate uncertainty and tentativeness about academic knowledge. However, few studies explore how hedges have changed in academic writing overtime. ...

Researchers use less and less hedges (may, might, perhaps, probably ...) in their papers. Or in other words papers are becoming more like biblical texts.
