Earlier this year, New Horizons flew past dwarf planet Pluto and its sister Charon, rapidly capturing data. That information continues to trickle in, revealing a surprisingly smooth heart-shaped plain called "Tombaugh Regio." The countless craters expected from billions of years' worth of impacts are nowhere to be found.

And there are other regions of Pluto that are cratered. What a stupid article.

...

Stupid article from a stupid source.

Scientists have said all along that the region is young, and by that they mean several million years. And as you brought up, the cratered regions are much older.
