I see what you mean, I think. Those things would have made nice accoutrements to the basic article (which as reviewer I judged newsworthy on the very basic grounds that it seemed interesting in a news-y sort of way). But one of the daunting things about news is the deadlines; this is what we were able to put together and get through the process quickly. So it's too late to do something within the original article, and something else would have to achieve newsworthiness on its own.
