 * There is a missing essential element in the lede. Perhaps I can provide it as reviewer without compromising my independence; I don't trust my judgement right now (tired).  The missing element is a focal news event &mdash; specific relevant and fresh.  These people didn't just discover this in the past couple of days; so that event would not be fresh, and arguably would not be specific either since a discovery like this is more of a collection of specific events.  The specific event is apparently the publication of the paper.
 * I really hoped I could review this tonight, but I'm just not sharp enough.


 * Update: Looking at the article fresh this morning, I see a problem far more serious than the above:  the significance of the discovery isn't well enough explained in the lede nor, more broadly, near the top of the article; possibly the discovery itself will want clearer explanation in the lede as well.  I think I'll need to study this more deeply in order to explain what's needed, so I plan to at least party source-check this before actually turning that into a not-ready review.  --Pi zero (talk) 14:32, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * It's also theroetically possible I'll see a way to fix it within reviewer's purview; I can't really imagine that now, but that too is part of what I hope to understand better. --Pi zero (talk) 14:37, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
