It's big news only if the findings can somehow revolutionize the way we train and make us better athletes. Otherwise it's all academic.

It's a summary of decades of study, so it's questionable whether it's "news" at all.

It's also dealing with metabolism, a realm which is such a jumbled mess that anything anyone says is never that surprising.

not really, we've known for awhile that lactic acid wasn't a thing and lactate wasn't the actual contributer to the burning feeling. Just that it correlates with whatever metabolites that are causing it and happens to be easy to measure.
