Sure, but they went slightly overboard with that headline and they knew it. But oh well, they have a lot of eyes and discussion on their paper so it's a success.

I feel like, if the feedback to your paper is "this is over-done / they claim more than they prove / it's kinda hype-ish" you're going to get less references in future papers.

That would seem to be counter to the "impact" goal for research.

  • Fair enough, that might be more my personal opinion instead of sound advice for successful research. Also I understand that you have a very limited amount of time to get your research noticed in this topic. Who knows if it's relevant two years down the line.
