Click-bait title and framing. Article on someone interested in the definition of life and questions about how life begins/began is interesting but isn't about one-upping Darwin in any sense. I would hate to be in England's shoes where just being an intensely curious researcher gets journalists to prophesize about you getting acknowledged as better than Darwin or whatever. What a bunch of distraction to have to be humble and downplay that or to defend the audacity etc. I bet lots of people will find it hard to avoid some bias against England just to spite the careless and unjustified way the journalist writes about him.
