I notice how the title by Ars Technica is much less baity than Nature: "Why have papers by one of history’s most famous physicists been retracted?" vs "Why did this journal retract two 1940s papers by Max Planck?"

For starters, Ars shouldn't write "this journal" when it's about another publication than themselves.

It's still clickbait and a good example of how infantile these publications are today. Ars and Nature really should be above all these bullshit headline games, but the fact they aren't explains a large part of their general degradation.

It’s almost like Nature doesn’t expect its readers to know who this Max Planck guy is. :-)
