Re: The March 31 editorial by Mac-Donald and Picard on the importance of the use of plain language.
A simple maxim, taught me by 1 of my professors of undergraduate biology over 3 decades ago, is that you should not write science so that you can be understood, you should write it so that you cannot be misunderstood. It is worth trying to identify all the possible interpretations of our work, not just the obvious ones.
