I don’t see why they can’t be allowed to focus on the public responce as they provide evidence in there article to back up the cheese claim that is is “going extinct”. While its not completely true, it is true enough for the average individual. Additionally since the scientific backing is uncontroversial, there’s no need to focus on the reasoning (letting the curious research further if they desire) and most of there viewers probably won’t be as interested in the intracity of DNA cloning defects anyway.
