"even though detailed interpretation of the complex processes involved remains difficult"
That's science-speak for "we really don't know" and what follows is just a scientific wild ass guess, or swag. When little Johnny is having a "difficult" time in math class it doesn't mean he's bringing home 'B' grades indicating a 'good' knowledge of the subject, it means he's getting a 'D' or an 'F' and cannot connect the two two's to get a four. Science-speak and teacher-speak both grow out of the same bureaucraticese that requires negatives to be couched in palatable terms. The real world comes uop with more readily perceived terms like snafu.
