In terms of science, that paper itself is of minor importance. If you understand how the scientific method works, you will know that what really matters is the consensus that develops after the findings in that paper have been tested by the scientific method. I will give the example of the paper that announced a researcher had found a link between autism and vaccines. But when subjected to the scientific method, no one could reproduce the findings, and eventually the 'researcher' was criminally charged because it turned out he had made up the results to support a commercial product he was pushing. I am not suggesting that there is fraud in the paper you refer to. My goal is to show that a single paper is pretty well meaningless in itself, and only becomes meaningful after other researchers try to disprove it and fail. LC
