So, a court in Italy has convicted seven scientists for manslaughter.

Is it right that the trial should have gone ahead?

That... That's so stupid. It's one thing to be sue-happy but this could set a dangerous precedent and make scientist reluctant to share their findings i they can be sued for being wrong. The people bringing the case must not have a clue what science is. Scientists aren't infallible gods.

What? Earthquakes are one of the most unpredictable forces in all of nature. This is like suing all the world's doctors for having not cured cancer yet.

Wait. WHAT?
I mean, really? Failing to predict an earthquake? This isn't about justice. This is about making somebody suffer, isn't it?
