Maybe some people don't like following ambiguously-titled links only to discover old news masquerading as something new. Novel idea and totally ridiculous, I know. How could I have been so silly?

Furthermore, my logic is perfectly valid. Scientific research is time-sensitive by nature. If someone were to post an article hailing the discovery of Neptune, while interesting to someone who has been wholly ignorant of Neptune their entire life, it warrants a caveat noting that it's an outdated discovery. And yet under your logic, you would reply: "There's no logical scenario under which someone would find this event notable, but be bummed out because it happened 168 years ago."

It was new to me. Thanks for posting.
