I think what happened is they found this material to be interesting--- it is no doubt--- but needed to write a paper and 'sexy/sensational' science sells(gets grant money).

That's what I suspected too, which is why I asked.

Journalistic articles on science often ignore that same factor: quantity. Like when they say a compound found in red wine prolongs life, they don't mention that you'd need to drink 1000 bottles of red wine a day.
