They’re out to sell magazines, not tell the truth.

Yes they are, and while that is no sin I still believe the best thing for academic publications is to be done on a non-profit basis. Even the journals of the various science professional societies suffer from the need to sell, but at least they seem to reign in the worst cases.

NPG is not the worst of the commercial publishers, by far. Yet because Nature is held up as a pinnacle of scientific publication I think they ought to be held to a higher standard.
