I think that since many people find it intuitive that P != NP, and PSPACE sits way on top of polynomial hierarchy that it is intuitive even if it’s unproven.
The article is about a new proof wherein P == PSPACE.
Something we all intuitively expected but someone finally figured out an obscure way to prove it.

This is a really roundabout article that takes a meandering path to a total bombshell in the field of complexity theory. Sorry for spoiling but uhhh, you'd expect an article about P == PSPACE would get to the point faster....
