This is domain-specific, but what annoys me the most about Paleoanthropology articles is that whenever somebody digs up another 4 myo shard of thigh bone, the article is guaranteed to contain the phrase "will force Anthropologists to rethink their assumptions". This all goes back to the "Lucy" find which was fully bipedal but still had the small brain of a chimpanzee, which did actually force Anthropologists to abandon the prior assumption that upright walking and large brains had evolved together. No find since then has had anywhere near that significance.
