ahh yes, the bFP/iFP debacle: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
"Residues 816–834 of the S protein, which is located immediately downstream of the S2’ cleavage site at Arg815/Ser816, have generally been recognized as the bona fide SARS-CoV-2 fusion peptide (bFP, residues 816–834). Nevertheless, a recent cryo-EM structure of the postfusion SARS-CoV-2 S in a lipid bilayer membrane showed that the internal fusion peptide (iFP, residues 867–909) inserted into the membrane, whereas the bFP was not resolved. This observation appears to challenge the functional importance of bFP but also indicates that additional analysis of the fusion peptide and fusion mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 S is warranted."

not the first time i can think of where the recombination breakpoints are so clean in tracking Spike... SeCoV (TGEV w/a PEDV Spike) is the same way: wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/...
SeCoV/Italy/213306/2009 showing the parent genomes it recombined from & the associated breakpoints: nearly perfectly tracking Spike.

he was always an utter tool. can't forget this all-time classic contender for "worst tweet ever written":
Noah Smith, tweeting: "What's interesting is that most of these Cultural Revolution cancellations didn't have any real consequences. You'd apologize, your students'd put up a mean poster in your house, & that'd be that...". Actual Reality of the Cultural Revolution: hundreds of thousands of people being either murdered or forced to kill themselves by angry lynchmobs.
