Morgan -
I saw that interview, and the point is well taken.
However, abstracts are "teasers", and when a person reviews an abstract and the topic is of interest, they go to the body of the article.
I went to a very research-oriented university and we had to produce a minimum of two original research pieces. We also had to read a great deal of original research articles. I then went on to become a research assistant at UMASS Medical School.
What the interviewee failed to mention is that many scientists write their own abstracts for these articles.
