Sun belches wonking solar flare

statistically significant?

Perhaps I'm missing something but

"one of the largest solar flares to come hurtling towards Earth in the past five years"

doesn't seem like a significant event to me. Five years is not a long period of time - surely the normal variation of solar flare size means that such a flare is to be expected. And this is just 'one of the largest' - not *the* largest, so it is presumably even less significant for that reason.

O RLY?

So some researchers used their imagination to make up some arbitrary criteria to define how 'catchy' a song is, and then used the said criteria to make a quasi-scientific statement in a likely attempt to gain publicity.

Why is this being reported as news?
