I think they publish cr@p like that so that if the idea pulls through, they can claim "being the first."
It's like those doomsday fanbois who are always claiming the world ends tomorrow so that if it does, they 'could' receive credit.
I.E. the crazy Yosemite guy from 2012 (movie).
I hate it though, it's not factual in my eyes...or factual enough... like claiming that women drivers are killers behind a killer machine or that Marajeehuwaaanah kills.
