I think Abel was talking about his and his colleagues work in this paper when he said the 10 years comment: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Bissera_Pentcheva/publi...

He's not just talking about being able to do convolution.

To be perfectly clear, some have been sampling reverb spaces for use in convolution reverbs using a starter pistol since the 1980s, and the procedure became widespread in the 1990s.

It is not 10 years old at all in any imaginable interpretation.

This person's "innovation" of popping balloons instead of using a starter pistol is completely and totally irrelevant and inconsequential.
