Wouldn't I say that to be for the best, given that I started the thread by linking to the paper?
That's not excuse for not providing a meaningful summary so that others can gauge whether it's worth their time. You need to give more than "Vladimir says so" as a reason for judging the paper worthwhile.
You ... do ... understand the paper well enough to provide such a summary ... RIGHT?
I was linking not just to the paper, but to a summary of the paper, and included that example out of that summary, a summary-of-summary. Others have already summarized what you got wrong in your reply. You can see that the paper has about 1300 citations, which should count for its importance.
