Thanks Ron.

Interesting article.

I'm not sure about re-writing the Galaxy formation model, just yet.

Their base data is derived from looking at low metallicity regions in only three z∼3 redshifted galaxies, capable of sustaining high star formation rates without frequent mergers with other galaxies.

There's a lot more work to do here, I think.

Cheers
