Perhaps a truer line might be
"Scientific journals don't want you to know this fact... without paying for it."
I recall seeing a scientist here saying how they're willing to provide free copies of their paper upon request, avoiding this cost to the reader.
This, of course, supports your hypothesis about scientists sharing.

Anyone saying "(Phenomenon/Thing) defies physics" is about to get an earful from a physicist.

@crazyeddie @neuronakaya my thought would be that they can’t distinguish between a scientist trying to explain an exciting thing that also requires knowledge of statistics, chemistry, and how the scientific method and community work and the kinds of religion-based grifters spewing nonsense, lies, and irrelevant tangents to overcome their marks’ working memory. Most people have far more experience with the latter.

I've met astronomers at science fiction conventions where a simple question got me a 25 minute lecture. Was awesome!

In my experience when someone says "scientists don't want you to know" what they are really saying is "science doesn't support my crackpot theory"

A related joke (originally about engineers):
Scientists make terrible magicians because they always want to explain how the trick works before they show it to you.

@neuronakaya Scientists are people. Some are notoriously secretive (Tesla,) while others can’t seem to shut up (Kaku.) Some work where they aren’t allowed to share (pharmaceuticals,) and some must “publish or perish. (Academia)
Most likely to overshare: science educators and popularizers. Least likely: researchers on the edge of esoteric disciplines.

whether or not they've met scientists is irrelevant. they're still getting paid to write the click-bait headline.
more likely, it's an llm doing the writing and the poor guy who may or may not have met a scientist is out on his ass.

@neuronakaya they really need to get savvier about sharing their knowledge before they get bumped off, or using deadman switches to ensure their stuff gets published after they go. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/insight/seven-scientists-tied-to-sensitive-research-dead-or-missing/gm-GM12EA3380

Anyone saying "Scientists don't want you to know this fact" is about to sell you 'supplements'.
It's funny how misrepresenting prescription drugs is illegal, but you are allowed to flagrantly lie your ass off about 'supplements'.
