Just a word of advice; never cling too strongly to a given explanation as the sole and certain explanation for something (speaking about scientific topics here). The universe is just too complex. Most observed effects have multiple causes, even if there is a single, clearly dominant cause for many effects.
Thanks, but such advice should be directed toward those (like the purported researchers quoted in the article) who cling to a single explanation while (and by) rejecting one that they can't accept, and don't bother to understand.
