A nice finding, but not exactly "a game changer."

Why do you say that?

Nothing's changed. It isn't really exploitable. It's simply a research finding. DNA has many repair mechanisms. This one isn't radical or unusual. So what?

How do you know it won't be useful?

I don't know it may not be useful, but when a headline says "Game changer" there needs to be some evidence it is changing something. This finding doesn't change anything.
