I agree! These results are NO cause for celebration. To do so would be deliberately misleading, and potentially devalue celebrations in general.

I agree!

- Breakthrough: a sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development

- Milestone: a significant point in development

This is clearly neither 'sudden' nor 'dramatic' and should NOT be celebrated or acknowledged as a 'breakthrough'. This level of journalistic malpractice is worth noting, and I have contacted the author on Twitter to voice my disapproval.
