Science journalists are expected to read papers, pick out the important parts, and rewrite them in their own words. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to reliably rewrite a mathematical statement in different words without understanding what it means, so they sometimes fail and misrepresent the research they report on. But this is a problem with the journalism and its editing, not with the original research. It’s good to avoid being misconstrued, papers should be written for experts first and journalists second or lower.
