It always pays to be super skeptical of "ground breaking" It takes a lot of follow up with independant researchers and peers to make sure everything is above board and reasonable and that there is nothing magical going on to make it look better.

This really calls in to question the future of said engines.

With the complexities of the of system design it may have been possible to shield some of the knowledge from those implementing it by breaking down components and expecting certain outcomes.
