Quotation marks are punctuation that
are a speaker's exact words.
Sometimes they are used to indicate a
term that has special meaning. It is not
meant to be taken literally.
Example: The wind "knows" when you
are about to rake leaves. (This just
means that you know it will start
blowing. Wind cannot really know you
are going to rake because knowing is
a human quality.)

Authors often need to use technical terms in
an article that covers scientific topics.
If authors had to always stop and define the
terms, the flow of the text would be
interrupted.
