They "stoop" - in the sense of writing a lot of material on the topic.

It seems a shame to waste so many science writers on the area. If the anti-science brigade had aimed to waste the time of the science enthusiasts with unscientific trivia - in order to prevent them from leading and educating real young scientists from the front - I would have to say they had won. Rarely have so many science enthusiasts expended so much time and energy on such garbage.

I particularly lament the loss of Dawkins. His latest book lays out the evidence for an established scientific theory - for the sake of the ignorant American hordes. That's two whole books from Britain's leading science writer that target those in the scientific gutter. I would rather people like him showed the way forwards from the front.
