Somewhat off topic: you know, in the comments section of almost every science article I read there is a disclaimer similar to yours. For example, I was reading about scientists lengthening telomeres and several people had to step in to say "no this has been done several times but this is slightly cheaper." I guess that's the nature of research, but it's a bizarre feeling when it seems you never hear about the origination of some technology and yet every time you read about it it's still years away from practical application.
