EDIT: It appears the BBC realized the study was a hoax, and has changed the article to which this post links accordingly. So the following comment may not make sense anymore. To reiterate, though, I was commenting on their writing, not their choice of content.
This is abominably bad reporting. Besides confusing correlation with causality, the caption of the accompanying picture (“Does your choice of browser determine intelligence?”) asserts that a person’s choice of browser influences their intelligence, rather than informs about it. Atrocious.
(I’m not an IE user, either. It’s the writing that offends me, not the content. Because I’m sure you were on the edge of your seat, wondering.)
