The 416-planet solar system is the equivalent of the large explosion that ends most Mythbusters episodes.
The interesting part of the article is the explanation of the different ways that the number of planets in the habitable zone of a star can be greater than one, and how it's possible that most stars have more than one habitable planet each. This has direct consequences for the Drake Equation and the likelihood of contemporary alien life in the galaxy.
