The Japanese specification for the color of traffic lights is certainly written in Japanese. If the specification says the light should have color "ao", then either blue or green or something in between that matches it is OK.

That the color region that word encompasses doesn't match that of the English words "green" doesn't really matter, and is not particularly mysterious.

> Both had superior user experience compared to git

Highly subjective.

Both Mercurial and Bazaar were plagued a long time by muddled branching and collaboration story. In hg there were the anonymous branches, multiple repos, bookmarks, all worked in different ways and their interactions were confusing. Bazaar I didn't use much but remember not understanding at all its branching model then, and didn't bother finding out.

Git won because it got many things right from the start, and was better than the competition.

This article contains various unfounded statements.

The manuscript that it refers to does not contain any calculations concerning superconducivity of the material, so it cannot say anything about it aside from vague guesses. There are no manuscripts I know on arXiv that contain calculations that suggest the material "should" be superconducting. This paper and several other discuss flat bands, but as noted in https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.05143 and elsewhere flat bands are no reason to expect superconductivity, especially the kinds that this material supports.

So there is no theoretical support for this material to be in any way good for superconductivity.

There is also no good experimental support. The crystal structure suggested in the original papers has been reproduced, but is found to be an insulator. Reproduction attempts of superconducting features have universally failed, and alternative explanations for the original measurements (which are fairly sloppy) exist. So there's not much reason to believe there ever was anything interesting there.
