Not an excuse for deceptive headlines, but in this case I think they could have just gone with the first half to good effect. I find this absolutely astonishing. I wasn't aware of the long history of the findings without a large microbiome, and I would have spontaneously thought that it was wildly unrealistic for the vast majority of macroscopic organisms to escape colonization even if they really try to.
