    “The” means that its the ONLY lab. “A” means that its one of multiple. Its not pedantics, its just straight up lying.

      Again- authors of articles generally do not write headlines. Editors do, just like editors have control over the artwork on the front cover of a book. You are judging a book by its cover. That’s why you read the blurb on the back and find out that Bigfoot isn’t actually in The Fellowship of the Ring.

              No, you should not judge the article by its headline and just read it.

              You might even find out something you agree with that you didn’t know before.

              My god, such resistance to the possibility of learning something new because the headline said ‘the’ instead of ‘a.’
