OK, but where are they when the LK99 first came onto scene?
The scientific process does not operate on the order of hours/days, but months/years. It's very impressive that responses have come out as fast as they have. The fastest I've seen a paper come out in my field after results were in was 8 months, and that took 5 people basically dropping everything else they were working on immediately and working full time to get the paper written as fast as possible while keeping the same rigor.
I'm not surprised, since having room temperature superconductors would literally change the world. So any hint at that possibility would probably whip people into fervour and they probably did drop everything to check it out.
