An example of anthropomorphic language in scientific writing:
"This principle [Le Châtelier principle] says that matter resists change: when it is forced to change, it opposes the force with all the means at its disposal. … When a gas is compressed, it is forced to occupy a smaller volume. It must comply, but it complies as reluctantly as it can."
