Stable determination of a simple metric, a covector field and a potential from the hyperbolic Dirichlet-to-Neumann map — mentioned by thebooktocome

I agree that's a limitation of the proof, but this is a thread about journalism tone. What alternative headline would you or the OP prefer? How much weaker does it need to be? Is "could theoretically help" weak enough, or do we need to go all the way to "could hypothetically, maybe, possibly help"? Forgive me, but it's frustrating to see Monday morning quarterbacking on a huge, important result that was the culmination of decades of work by the authors. Prior to this, the most general result in boundary rigidity was https://arxiv.org/abs/1205.6425, which only works on simple metrics.
