You could reflexively post that, or you could read the article, which provides some evidence that the answer seems to range from "possibly", to "yes". It's tempting to just link to Betteridge's Law and move on, but it's not universal, and sometimes piece is legitimately presented as reviewing the evidence of some topic.

Personally, I think this is actually a useful conceit when considering something like this (which I believe I've actually seen on HN multiple times in the past) where a connection is being made that perhaps one had never considered before.

Thanks for your reply. I almost didn't read it despite the publisher being Scientific American.

can confirm the article seems to lean heavily towards a "Yea"
