The abstract for the study (which is behind a paywall) states of Thomas's work "While respectable for its time". The article doesn't feel like it reflects this sentiment. The title also seems unfairly overstated, claiming Thomas was 'spectacularly wrong'. He correctly identified where the rocks came from, to within a few miles of the location identified in the study.
