We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can someone talk me through why this is news? Is it because it's the first time scientists have looked into this? Or am I imagining it's something mundanely obvious but they're really talking about something else?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nusbaum coauthored a paper in the Journal of Memory and Language that reported on a group of experiments said to provide the first evidence of "analog acoustic expression" -- people unconsciously modulating their voices in ways that provide an additional channel of expression understood by others.
No, really?
Yeah, that does sound obvious.

Maybe somebody was just looking for a way to spend some grant money.

Where's Rick? He needs to step in with "I've read the whole paper and what the article fails to convey is..."
I do wish that there were fewer articles like that, ones that seem to trumpet the obvious as a scientific discovery, because it does contribute to scientists seeming more isolated from real life and less useful.
