Ah, the good old scientific days when every product had to be marketed as scientific, using that exact word. Like this scientific ad, which scientifically repeats how scientific the headlight is because scientific readers demand science scientifically.
No worse than the "atomic" or "space-age" days that followed, and way better than "block-chain" or "AI" of today.
True, just like "online" and ".com" in the 2000s. Marketing loves to pointlessly toss around fad words. I will mock this specific ad for overusing the word to a comical degree, though.

Don't get me wrong. I agree. Mock away. I was just commenting on how this is something we can't seem to get away from.
Ordinary Headlight Dangerous
Edit: SCIENCE!
