Indeed, and if that's also happening with the deep-learning papers here, then it's another mechanism in support of my main point: what's published is often, by motivated choice, behind what's being done internally. (And not just, "time it takes to write up" behind.) Given that intent, there's no way to deduce from the pattern of new claimed results whether what's being revealed is a merely a few months, or many years, behind.
