"'Top Mathematician Also A Biological Genius?'
The content of the article was all about one fact, that Zhao Yi had published too many papers within half a year. What it said was not necessarily wrong.
The last sentence, however, was the point and the most provocative: 'We can't assume there's anything wrong here, but I reckon anyone who looks at these figures will have some doubts, wouldn't they?'
