Do we really believe that the kind of people who sign up for the military have this much reasoning ability?

The whole point is to mould them into unquestioning footsoldiers.

They aren’t as bad as police who have to actively try whereas someone can just “fall” into the army. But still, they are enemy combatants and can’t be expected to follow reason.

No, more like the differences in lenses, how they pull focus, the light they let in and f stop for the shutter.

The film Matters too, but since OP specifically asked about vintage equipment, film was a given

Army of the Dead has a super small focal point due to the lenses JJ Abrams used and it is a noticeable affect all through the movie.

Yet he still did the right thing in VI despite his bias. (And if you watch the Orville, there’s a character in season 3 that has the same arc).

Balance Of Terror was when/how they discovered it

Yeah. I have no idea what the article is about because I don’t know what munching is. But the ArsTechnica headline gives me more contextual info

But doesn’t that possibly speak as much to people wanting to read something from a website with which they are more familiar with a more streamlined approach at providing the information?

There are plenty of features I see that run thousands of words that I don’t have time to read so I just catch a one or two paragraph summary posted somewhere else. Basically stealing the headline. It’s what journalism is now. Everyone just steals and uses it as clickbait. WhatsApp is on the top of YouTube suggestions for me even though I don’t subscribe
