Unusual is a subjective term. She says 10%-20% of the planetary systems are like ours. Are you saying that that was the point made in the original article too?

"Unusual is a subjective term" -- absolutely. I don't want to go back and forth on this one either.

Listen carefully to the video. She says "It could only be as common as 10-20%". Just before saying that, she pauses and looks upward, to formulate the sentence correctly. The 10-20% number is an upper bound, not a direct estimate.

You have to give her credit for communicating the idea carefully. The difficulty of doing this in real time is extreme. And if you do it wrong, you really get taken to task by your colleagues.

I don't know if it was, but I'm not concerned. What I took away from the original article was: We have a theory for how solar systems form. That theory assumes that our solar system is typical. The data we're finding does not agree with our theory, because the data indicates that our solar system is not typical.
