    … but they do?

    Unlike most molds, Penicillium camemberti can’t reproduce sexually with other fungi to create new genetic diversity. As a result, cheesemakers have to clone it — but that has become increasingly difficult because of mutations that interfere with the fungi’s ability to produce spores.

      I only see a quote about people cheese posting before the briepocalypse. Going into the article to find what you quoted is what my tldr is based on.

        I don’t see why they can’t be allowed to focus on the public responce as they provide evidence in there article to back up the cheese claim that is is “going extinct”. While its not completely true, it is true enough for the average individual. Additionally since the scientific backing is uncontroversial, there’s no need to focus on the reasoning (letting the curious research further if they desire) and most of there viewers probably won’t be as interested in the intracity of DNA cloning defects anyway.
