I wonder whether there's a little bit of an echo chamber going on in this
particular case.  That site looks quite old.  When it popped back up on
Vortex recently, perhaps the blogger responsible for the phys.org article
wasn't aware of the fact that the Web site is old and thought it was
interesting news.  I've seen variable quality in submissions to phys.org --
often the articles there are basically press releases written, for example,
by the university whose researchers have done the work being reported on.
 (Which is not to say that phys.org isn't a good site.)

I will be interested to see whether the phys.org article survives or is
swatted away.
