Can we please stop using the word addiction? No one in online discussion agrees on what it means, so it always ends with angry people screaming past each other.

Literally anything can be addictive.

Imagine being a scientist and not being intelligent enough to come up with a new theory to prove.

Edit It's easy to understand the confusion of the person below me. They don't realize that headlines shouldn't just be clickbait that misleads readers. That's poor science and poor journalism.
