You might notice this was written by actual researchers working in the field, and that it was published in the Reviews section of Nature.

Not sure what your issue with the article is. Review papers are among the most cited and important publications in science. There are entire journals dedicated to them, and their impact factor is often an order of magnitude higher than that of original research journals.

Who is taking an issue with anything? I just asked an honest question and didn't denigrate anyone. Maybe in the age of Trump tweets its difficult for you not to take instant offense?
Hey, I took your original comment to take issue with the article [1]. If it wasn't meant that way I am sorry for misreading your question and the tone of my answer. I think I and several other adequately answered your question.

[1] Just to explain how I read it: You draw an incorrect distinction between the authors doing the summarizing and "actual scientists". The review is in fact written by "actual scientists". I consequently interpreted your statement "maybe I don't get it, the scientists all seem very smart", as snarky.

From quantum machine learning to Trump in 4 comments lol. Maybe everyone is a little touchy. :)
lol All roads lead to Trump? shivers
