as usual, it is sad to see something so basic and so well known by great people of previous centuries trumped up as a “remarkable recent discovery” and as a kind of definitive truth without nuances (and there are so many). We call that “sensationalisme” in french. It is very akin to demagogy and it is the mode of reporting of almost all popular science articles.
