    My guess is because of the very large multicolored-background text. (Wasn't me, but I do find it slightly obnoxious.)

        Whoda thunk it? Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a high-temperature superconductor using Scotch tape[^]! This could lead to new advances in quantum computing, they claim.

        Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
