'it turns out that' usually means that it follows from a bunch of math that's not worth talking about. Not that it's supported by experiment.

Rather a subtle distinction, when a noted scientist is writing for a lay audience.

  • Yeah, I agree, I don't think it's a good construction even in the field. It's always more clear and less annoying as a reader if it says "it follows from some math that" or something like that.
