I think what they mean is that the breakthrough was the linkage between this particular skewed curve, and a whole slew of previously 'unpredictable' events, (e.g.)demagnetisation of magnets using heat, turbulence flows, etc. Also, the possible applications on other types of so-called 'self-similar' events, if their theory turns out to have some merit.
