    I guess we’re used to hearing “this was not an accident” as meaning “this was rigged”, but for scientists it translates more to something like “thank god, it’s a real finding and not just one of those weird things that happen every now and then”.

      That quote by itself is fine, but when they combine it with “unravel” and “supposed” it puts a different interpretation on it.

      I usually equate “unravel” with “tear apart”, but maybe they meant something more like “unpack”.
