Is it just me who has difficulty trying to get to the crux of the matter? It felt like the articles spends too many words before reaching it.

Aside from that, I get the feeling that the headline is a bit clickbaity. The article doesn't give me the impression that anything new about the accretion disk and the jets were found. Rather, the scientists were able to partially validate their model against observations for the first time.

Am I reading this right, or did I miss something?
