TPT= 'Than Previously Thought'

'Than previously thought' is an interesting phrase in a lot of news reports. Google gives 22 million hits... Bing gives 70 million. Here are some examples. Just replace the ... with TPT.

Huntington's disease more common...
Earth and Moon formed later...
Universe to end sooner...
Dinosaurs may have been smaller...
Dinosaurs might be older...
BP oil leak worse...
Penguin DNA evolving faster ...
Human genome more variable...
...southern Greenland was warmer...
Placebo treatments stronger...

I guess a lot of this depends on what was 'previously thought'.

The world is a big place. There are lots of new things to learn and old things to unlearn. This blog will link the ones I find interesting.
