Sometimes the only difference between random button pushing and science is if you write it down.

Faff around and find out is the essence of the scientific method.

That said, I never trust a paper that gets posted directly to HN much. But then, single papers are never to be trusted!

A lot of biology is still a black box for us. You investigate a block box by pushing its buttons and recording the results. Hopefully, there are enough buttons and eventually response patterns begin to emerge. Or someone invents a way to open the box, just a little.
