I regret to announce that I share your sentiments with regard to the circumloquacious fashion of the writing in that article.
I think we've made progress since it was written. Eye-tracking shows how we read and which words or letter combinations trip us up.
By the way, wouldn't that table naturally have time in the left hand column, considering it's probably an independent variable, while temperature is dependent?
