OK, fun article. But holy smokes, when I first read the title, I thought it was saying, "GF pasta falls apart because of neutron scattering." Whew!

Same thing happened to me. My reading comprehension isn't always great first thing in the morning, but I still feel like the title was/is somewhat confusingly worded.

The word "explains" is ambiguous. Compare:

Jack's girlfriend explains why the sky is blue.

Rayleigh scattering explains why the sky is blue.

"Rayleigh scattering explains the blueness of the sky", Jack's girlfriend explains.
