Nice, the upside of posting a comment with >10 upvotes (not a common occurence in my case) is that:

1. you end up getting more responses

2. more responses === a higher probability of seeing gems like this wikipedia wormhole I'm about to get sucked into:) I had no idea about the horsemen/chans or that May identified the reason behind the alpha particle problem. Cheers.

I didn't know there was a specific term for this concept. Thanks!
