I'm only a pop-physics fan (well, I did get a physics minor 20 years ago) but the fact that these were two sides of the same coin was always clear even to me.

I'm only a pop-physics fan (well, I did get a physics minor 20 years ago) but the fact that these were two sides of the same coin was always clear even to me. I always wonder if these sorts of misinterpretations are intentional hyping on the part of the scientists for naive science writers, or whether the reporters are just that confused about things. Reminds me of the neverending stream of stories about how biologists have "overturned Darwin" by uncovering details that prove just how amazingly right Darwin was.
