One scary a$$ line, indicates a 100% success rate.
You should re-read the abstract to see what it is really saying.
The end result is that they were able to get normal-looking offspring from all four strains tested. However, there was an excessive number of failures in the process in order to get that process. The important line over-looked indicating what it took to get those end results: "cloned offspring were born at a 2.8% birth rate". If you check table 1 of the full article it shows there were a total of 651 embryos cultured in order to get their end results.
This is very far from a 100% success rate.
We have a different view of what constitutes 100%. Yes they started with randomly selected leukocyte nuclei but through the sorting and discarding those known to give poor results, they ended with four strains which normal-looking offspring were obtained from all four strains tested.
I didn't count the ones discarded, as it's part of the cleansing process.

The Hanford project as it was called; long as I can remember they had a small museum explaining the project. When they moved it from the recreational area (original location) to the the Federal Building a few Cray computers were added and used as seating areas. A small sign near them saying they were Crays but just circular seating if anybody needed to rest.
I had a friend who programed the Cray's, sometimes he would call just to chat; but it could be a problem. He would always be near the cooling system so his phone had a receiver cut off button. He'd say something then hit the button so the cooling system wasn't heard in the back ground making a conversation possible. I don't know if he called on his rounds or he was located next to the coolers, but they were loud.
At one of the Government auctions I had a chance to bid on and even of purchased a Cray, but it would be spendy as junk goes. An old Univac system was once auctioned (I thought about bidding on it - it would of taken up the entire house and a good part of the yard:} ) never met it's lowest bid due to the precious metals involved.

It won't stop you, I or others that like to take stuff apart, but it will stop a lot of other people. It is a security screw and not being used for the even torque the fastener sees; but to keep people from fiddling with it. I've fixed a lot of stuff and I still don't have a pentalobe driver and would have to purchase one to take off the screws.
Google "security screw" with quotes then go to images - do notice what you get. They are a more expensive fastener use to keep people from fiddling with them - but some will cause that's what we do. They also come in larger sizes for automobiles "security bolts" I do have a socket set for those.
