The title and start of the article make it sound like it was a complete mystery that was solved now.
However when continuing to read the article it appears that there were competing theories to explain it, and the new research has bolstered evidence for one of the two main theories.
Am I correct in assuming that the latter is a more accurate assessment of the subject?
