Later down the page, Wolfram issues a challenge: "It’s been years now, and I’d really like to see SMP run again. So here’s a challenge. This is the source for a C program encrypted like the SMP source code..."

Just wanted to call this out in case anyone wanted to try decrypting it :).

How were the sensors? (e.g., SpO2?)

It's a strange site where they mix both facts and misinformation.

Mirror Sci-Hub

This paper is in Scientific Reports, which is published by Nature but is not regarded as a top-tier journal. It has an impact factor of 5.5 vs. 41 of Nature.

But I would say that "selling the science" occurs more often for high-profile journals because the authors need to convince the reviewers that the paper has a significant impact. Papers in more field-specific journals tend to write conservatively.

No, that's standard boilerplate these days in papers. You have to "sell" the science a bit to reviewers and connect your work to the broader picture. Those in the field usually ignore statements like this.
