This is a common problem with Science Daily. They basically copy and paste press releases from universities with all the bullshit hype intact. Every article has the same format:
Scientists discover mind-blowing new theory that will blow your mind and cure cancer, AIDS, and global warming!!!!
I have a few friends in different fields of research and in the biotech field. I sent them a link from sciencedaily, after thanking me for the link. They politely informed me that sciencedaily is not a worth while publication and therefore deem the information from it not so exciting / important.
You could say they are being snobbish maybe even elitist. But as mentioned in the comments, this is not the first time a post to there has had words like "misleading" etc.
What if we had a peer review, prestigious website where you could submit your articles for publishing in the IT world?
Equally, does "snobbishness" exist already in peer review sites for the IT world already?
If anything I would expect two crowds to form, the larger of which being an "anti-snob" crowd that says, "If it wasn't on a developer's personal blog, it isn't worth reading!"
