You don't have to "entertain" when talking about science, you have to inform, because when you make science accessible to everyone in this way, you are spreading ignorance and creating the substratum of pseudoscience, since common people won't read the paper, or even click on the link. Maybe not even go past the title (which IS clickbait).
