Outside the academic/scientific houses, the majority of copyeditors -- and of editors in general, including the people who draw up the house styles -- are (and I use the term descriptively rather than pejoratively) scientifically illiterate. Many are sensible enough, when working with pop science texts, to bow to expert advice on how the scientific aspects should be handled. But many aren't.
