??? You absolutely have the right and ability to host your own content on your own page. Facebook is incredibly popular, but it's not the "centralized" communication medium. If you want to make a political statement or whatever, you absolutely can-- presuming you can get people to actually come see what you have to say.

People use Facebook or other social media because it's significantly more convenient to do so. And distributing content on Facebook/Twitter/etc. is much more effective than trying to get people to go to your own personal website.

I'm having a tough time understanding what you're saying. You're saying that the decisions of a company are made due to cultural norms, and not individual consciences? And that Zuckerberg doesn't actually have any power, because the shareholders would out-vote them? And the shareholders make their decisions based on cultural norms? Then where do those norms come from? What leads those cultural norms?

I legitimately don't understand what you're saying.

It might seem small, but I'd argue that the difference in phrases is pretty stark.

Saying we "have a better model of"-something leaves room for further exploration and interpretation. It's admission that there's room for different possibilities, and its not taking an /absolute/ position on something.

But saying something "has answered questions" comes off as absolute and final. Is 1+1=2? Yes. Answered. Case closed. If you're going to say that "The simulation solves a decades-old mystery", then you'd better be damn sure that your simulation is correct, your interpretations are correct, your simulation correctly reflects physical reality, etc.

Saying "it has been answered" is a strong definitive statement, though. It's rather arrogant to say "Yes, thanks to this model, we absolutely know <xyz>." Are we absolutely certain that this model is correct? Are we absolutely certain that what we can extrapolate from this model accurately applies to the physical world?

Granted, yes, questions were answered... I guess. But saying that "The simulation solves a decades-old mystery" is uncomfortably confident and counter to how scientific process works.

It's definitely catchy and clickbaity, though
