The average attention span for the notoriously ill-focused goldfish is nine seconds, but according to a new study from Microsoft Corp., people now generally lose concentration after eight seconds, highlighting the affects of an increasingly digitalized lifestyle on the brain.

>Why
Post modernists cannot get a real job so they enter media and other places they can bleat their public discourse while still using all the medicine available to them oblivious that this was the result of research, real research.

Also they hate real researchers after Alan Sokal exposed them as frauds.

It just fits the biases of the media, the edittors, the people who own the companies, etc.
