What do you think? Kinda a pedantic response for a spelling mistake.

  Both are 1 letter off from the presumed correct word: unatural + n == correctly spelled unnatural unatural - u == correctly spelled natural How the hell are you supposed to guess as if the context of viral sequencing is somehow easy to parse correctly?

  Seriously? Is this the quality of discussion HN is regularly becoming? You want me to make an assumption? Is that how you operate in conversation - assumptions to fill in the gaps when something isn't clear? You realize that their saying "natural" or "unnatural" completely changes what they're saying to the polar opposite, right? So now clarity is pedantic? Seriously? If HN had subreddits there'd be one similar to /r/WatchRedditDie

    It's not an assumption for people who read the article. You'd know what the authors were claiming - natural, unatural, or unnatural.
