When I first opened this post it was a link to the Gizmodo article talking about the study. It, in turn, linked to the Endgadget article and the source PDF. Why was this HN post hijacked to remove the Gizmodo, and by extension Endgaget, article(s) and point directly to the PDF instead? Is there no value in the content of those two articles reporting on the study?
Section "In Submissions," third paragraph:
Please submit the original source. If a post reports on
something found on another site, submit the latter.
There are exceptions, this is a broad over-generalization, I don't speak for HN, etc.
Here is the original link with some opinion and commentary.

It can be a little frustrating sometimes, particularly if the original title is vague or non-descriptive (e.g. "My Next Journey" instead of the more informative "Blah blah Steps Down as CEO of _____"), and if a different article provides a particularly juicy tidbit or summary of the article.
