"If it has legs, it has legs!" Whether or not you find this science rigorous, it is the kind of thing that leads to a "wow! my mind is blown" a-la so many smokey college dorm room nights. Similar to the anthropic principle, these concepts are cool but hard to use. Nevertheless I do like the way this one gives us a new way at justifying the value of 'interesting' stuff that we might be otherwise interested in discarding. For example: the impulse on HN to discard this research... whether or not it's valid, it is certainly an interesting example of the point of the research itself. If this stuff has legs, it'll have legs. Mind blown? Bleh maybe for a second right?
