While translocation is cool, this certainly isn't a novel case and Robertsonian translocations are covered in undergrad genetics courses. Well written if not for the way that it starts off, making it sound like the doctor in China has made a unique discovery.
Humans with strange number of chromosomes. Ah... Takes me back to my undergraduate genetics course. This definitely not as unique as the article makes it sounds, and it's not surprising that he appears normal given the nature of the genetic event.
I've yet to hear someone define what useful, diverse set of results is that has been filtered from them; they simply state that the sites that they see on Google, FB, et al. are filtered and that some other filtered pages could hypothetically be useful.
What diverse results do you want to see that you aren't seeing now, and how could they potentially be useful?
This is an easy experiment. Submit a google query while logged in, and open an incognito Chrome window and submit the same query there. Compare the search results. What would have been helpful that you didn't see in your filter "bubble"?
