to be honest you are missing the forrest for the tree. start a flamewar somewhere else.

Many of the comments here show why critical thinking is a useful skill esp with articles such as this one, but given how much volume there is nowadays, and the fact that we are not all subject matter experts, it becomes a bit cumbersome.

I wish these articles had a "Ways in which our claim could be wrong" section. Maybe every article should. E.g. Here is what i think, but here are aspects of it that I haven't looked into that could make me change my stance.

At the very least, you'd know the author made some effort to be truthful, and not just sensationalist/misled.

Perhaps we can have a browser extension that aggregates and ranks crowdsourced feedback on articles such as this one? :P

It was a substantive comment,and I agree I could have been nicer. The negative emotional overtone was a part of the message

"Unless, of course you ruin your voice, but let's not think about that possibility."

Yeah, of course. Let's not think about it. Except for we should.

Here is my view. Introduce balance in your life - push yourself for a limited amount of time per day, pursuing a specific goal, and do it intelligently. Like when you are in the gym - lift more than you should for longer than you should and get to enjoy 6 months of tendonitis.

It is not because you are weak/dumb. It's because your approach is weak and dumb.
