Can you explain what "woo" means in this context? I've seen it used a lot lately, but it's new to me.

Reading the sibling link, it looks like this person is using "woo" incorrectly in this context. Good science/technology often has failed outcomes (which isn't woo). I'm also presuming the University of Adelaide isn't practicing pseudoscience.

Eh, it's definitely a loose/sarcastic usage of the word, but it works for me.
