Did none of the comments in the original submission not show why (at least some) thought it to be click-baity at the time of you posting this 'Ask HN'? That's not snark btw am just confused about your reasons/motivations were in posting this Ask HN.
Do you feel it an important enough breakthrough that it needs/deserves HN's input and or perusal? If so, again, email DanG and ask for it to be put into the 'second chance pool'.
Again, HTH but bear in mind that my words are just random guesses from some random internet forum user and are worth exactly double what you paid for 'em!

Makes it tough to validate the claims made especially when the original paper is behind a paywall. Maybe an internet archive link in the comments section would help so that others can read the full paper rather than just the abstract?
