This type of thing seems to be very common in articles/papers like this i.e. present a perfectly sensible summary of some experimental evidence. Then make some wild speculation as to its impact or cause. Then...nothing. No suggestion as to how one would follow this up, why it's related to the experiment other than superficially. Nothing.

Winds me up especially as the meat of the article is quite interesting and informative.
