People are emotionally driven. Everyone is, to an extent. Scientists are less likely to use that to support their point, or they'll have emotionally displeasing things to say.

Well pretend your science is more emotional, Mr scientist! We need to convince the masses, throw a "damn" or two in your sentences, save our planet and pretend for a second science has led to innovation after innovation that has changed quality and ability of life for billions... Yeah, damnit, nothing emotional about science, let's just keep it boring
