OP linked to a news article that presented a pretty good summary of the report along with some additional context. It was not "some pundit blithering about it."

I don't think there is anything wrong with linking to a news article like this that is published by a reputable news source such as Ars Technica. Not everyone is going to have the time to read a 43 page report, especially if it's not clear why they should be reading it.

It would be nice if Ars Technica would provide a link to their source material (unless I'm just missing it).

I don't understand why so many news sources skip out on providing references.

To make web sites "sticky", so people don't go elsewhere.

That doesn't apply to YC, so when posting here, please give the link to the original source. Sometimes it's necessary to dig through three levels of blog to get to the source. (This seems to be especially true of articles about battery chemistry and surface chemistry ("nanotechnology").)
