Because, as a lay person, I’ve heard of globular clusters, and that means several experts in the field not talking about them points not to “weird”, but to “nope”.

I don't contest the answer "nope" (in fact, I provided an explanation) -- I contest your decision to prioritize snark over helpfulness.

I mainly take issue with the “weird” designation, as if every science article must somehow explain everything unrelated the phenomenon isn’t.

Anyone with JWST time slots knows what a globular cluster is. If they say it’s weird and unexplained, it probably is at present.
