You have to be careful with Nature. The root journal is top quality, but there's some sort of ancillary pipeline within the "Nature" umbrella where articles look very superficially like a Nature article, but are NOT published in the root journal and are NOT held to the same standard at all. It can be a bit confusing. I'm not sure if the cited article falls into that category or not, because I can't quite recall how it works, but I just know I have been burned by that one in the past when I submitted something to be reviewed and it turned out one really surprising result was garbage tier.
