That is partly because no one seems willing to summarize this work, in concise form, for nonspecialists. Such a summary might be, "This is an important finding, but it doesn't mean Lysenko was right, and the term 'inheritance' doesn't have just one meaning."

I think the term "inheritance" for both DNA and epigenetic information transfers (as in the linked article) is innately confusing.
