You wrote: > I was waiting … I think your instinct and expectation were correct. The article reads: > The info provided by Biomass will be a critical step forward. I think it should read "The info provided by Biomass would be a critical step forward."

My guess is that it's either sloppy editing or LLM-generated text.
