We heard a lot about that. It would have been revolutionary and many teams tried to replicate it. Their failure to do so, and its subsequent discredit, are well documented.

No we did not. Just because you kept up with it doesn't mean it didn't fall into obscurity regardless of its success or in this case failure.

All revolutionary claims like this have some effect in the circles that refer to it.

My comment is reflective of the failure of that substance.

I saw it posted all over Lemmy within days of the original claim. Apart from notifying you personally to any changes, how would you really correct this?
