I like it when things like this happen.

When a new discovery mucks up what was assumed to be established knowledge, it causes a lot of scientists with a stake in either side to push themselves hard to do more research.

Science and society itself benefits.

I'm surprised they were allowed to publish. This has been known in some circles for at least a decade, maybe longer.
