Heisenberg Idiocy Principle

Why is this trash in the Science section?

If I ever have the good fortune of rising to an editorial position at a major American newspaper, the first thing I will do is send out a memo to all my reporters and columnists insisting that they NEVER bring up the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to explain ANYTHING, because there is really NO general-interest story that requires mention of that principle, or that could even benefit from it without tortuously and intolerably perverting the science behind it.
