摘要

All scientists are acutely aware of the profound challengethat they face when communicating scientific findings to nonscientists,especially when great uncertainty is involved and when the topic is ofpersonal interest to the general public. Simplification of the issues—sometimes extending to a degree of oversimplification—is a sad but gen-erally recognized necessity. It is not, however, a necessity when scientistscommunicate with each other, and when that happens, the explanationmay lie elsewhere: either in the speaker's vested interests or in over-confidence on the speaker's part in the extent to which he or she hasgrasped the topic under discussion. Both these explanations are seriousallegations and must not be made without good reason, not least becausean alternative explanation is often the entirely legitimate preference forscientific "shorthand." However, when a general tendency toward over-simplification emerges within an expert community, not only in informalinteractions but in learned publications, the field in question can suffera loss of reputation for rigor, which may especially infect younger sci-entists joining that field (or contemplating joining it). I feel that thishas occurred to a dangerous degree within biogerontology in respect ofthe way in which the effect of the environment on the rate of aging—whether that of an individual organism or of a lineage—is described.There are still important controversies in that area, but I refer herestrictly to issues concerning which a thorough consensus exists. In thisessay I highlight some fundamental tenets of biogerontology that arefrequently, and to my mind problematically, mis-stated by many in thisfield in their printed pronouncements. Greater precision on these pointswill, I believe, benefit biogerontology at many levels, avoiding confusionamong biogerontologists, among other biologists, and among the generalpublic.
