contrast to scientific absent inform with even between

The purpose of scientific literature is to inform and persuade peers as to the validity of observations and conclusions and the forensic efficacy of methods. Popular science attempts to _33_ and convince scientific outsiders (sometimes along with scientists in other fields) of the significance of data and conclusions and to celebrate the results through epideictic rhetoric. Statements in _34_ literature are often qualified and tentative, emphasizing that new observations and results are consistent _35_ and similar _36_ established knowledge wherein qualified scientists are assumed to recognize the relevance. By _37_, popular science emphasizes uniqueness and generality, taking a tone of factual authority _38_ from the scientific literature. Comparisons _39_ original scientific reports and derivative science journalism and popular science typically reveal at least some level of distortion and oversimplification which can often be quite dramatic, _40_ with politically neutral scientific topics.
