This is a cool paper. I'm saddened that there is not much discussion on it. It may be too jargon-laced. The above WaPo article takes away too much, and in my opinion, makes the topic less interesting.

If there is interest, I can take a stab at writing an explanation of this result for the technical person, such as those here on HN, who is uninitiated to the field.

That would be fantastic - and admittedly people like yourself or some other folks I can think of (Paul Whiteley of "Questioning Answers" fame comes to mind) are doing really great job on explaining the complex subjects in lay terms.

Please do this!
