what Suineg set it to
Hard to say whether this is them saying that they intentionally/accidentally left out details in the process vs their publication not attempting to fully describe how to produce LK-99 and instead focused on its properties and existence.
If someone creates a super-material like LK-99 and there's a rush to publish it for whatever reason, it'll probably look something like this. If a group of scientists are out of money and are looking to scam some group for money, it'll probably look something like this.
I'm guessing the first group to publish solid info is the Korean verification committee. Unless they stall and the LK-99 creators publish the full recipe and someone else replicates it. Being a layman I don't really believe it until an American university publishes its findings and Neil Degrass Tyson makes a video about it with a lot of production value.
Yes definitely no bullshit here, science is when there are secrets.
