This has been known & bandied about for more than a decade. It must have been a boring news week.

Isn’t there some saying that goes along the lines of
”The wheels of Justice grind slow.”?
Replace “Justice” with “Truth” and you get the same idea.
The Status Quo has to die, or at least retire, before new ideas can see the sun.

That's not how science works though, Circ. They are continually testing their ideas and seeking evidence to support or overturn them In this case, the story indicates that evidence has been found to sustain the finding.

This is good news for everyone but the Clovis-Firsters.
