I think my use of the term "high-res" already implied that.
Yes and it’s completely arbitrary. My only point is there isn’t really anything new or interesting here, sadly.

There is something new and interesting about the topic to many people. And the paper itself represents a small blip of progress, though it must of course be hyped up to lure in eyeballs.

Novelty is relative.
