this boronic thing (negative ion, really) they _might have seen_ has 241 (valence) electrons..

You'd expect a nice 240 given the symmetry, not a prime number

Or maybe a less baity reason is those hints of B_80^- have captured H+ "nuclei", turning into almolecular atoms!

Not oxyboronic at all

What do you mean by "turning into almolecular atoms"?
Typo. No "al-" prefix
