The epigrammatic mode aside, what have you seen in SA whose content
was "questionable"?  I concede that the verb tenses and disclaimers
in the article on superstrings were not all they should have been, and that
black holes are spoken of with an unjustified complacency, but careful
reading of the articles in question and others like them always shows 
that the authors know and admit that their conclusions are somewhat 
far-fetched.  I assume that SA's editors are keeping watch.
