The conclusions are pushed and hyperbolic exactly to get this type of reaction from the public, at best conflating control with function (we solved sleep) while the sleep phenotype itself is basically non-existing.

Proper rebuttals will come up in due time on the appropriate channels. all the colleagues I talked to are as pissed off as I am about this way of doing science.

“They hyped their conclusions a lot” is par of the course, but

> the sleep phenotype itself is basically non-existing

is not. Can you explain that in more detail?
