Uhm, without even RTFA, it’s a .edu.au domain, so an educational institution (in Australia), not a commercial venture, so presumably pretty immune from marketing hype.
EDIT: sorry guys, I assumed the sarcasm would be transparent. Apologies.
- vosper 9y agoIt's from the University 'Newsroom' department, and AFAIK these are pretty notorious for over-hyping University research. It essentially is a marketing department for the University.
- qubex 9y agoYes, sorry, as I mentioned to somebody else I though my sarcasm would be self-evident, but maybe I just dripped with too much caustic fluid... sorry.
- wbhart 9y agoI assume that was meant as a joke. Universities regularly put out utter nonsense in press releases (the marketing departments at universities are often ground zero for the most atrocious exaggerations that end up in the press). And I doubt universities in Australia are specially immune from this.
- qubex 9y agoYes it was meant as a joke but unfortunately my prose was a bit too deadpan, I edited it to add a warning, sorry.
