In terms of academia, a source like Nature is considered La Creme de la Creme. If you can pick apart an academics argument using Nature as a reference then you've pretty much knocked a leg off of their 3 legged soap box.

The second exercise is understanding the terminology. Nature is good with terminology and reading it can sometimes be an exercise in understanding technobabble. You've got time, read it carefully and any expressions you don't understand look them up. If you are part of the master race then this is not above your intellect, but you may have to break down the expressions to make them more digestible. If you're finding it too hard to read then get gud scrub.

So, pop quiz: Based on current events and reading this review, tell me what issue you can spot from it. (Hint, it's mentioned in the introduction and and based around time periods.)

Well potentially it promotes a type I interferon response which could promote inflamation and autoimmunity. Which I think is probably bad. I guess this PAMP thing is a resemblance to some double strand rna viruses.

Double strand viruses, wikipedia:

Since cells do not produce double-stranded RNA during normal nucleic acid metabolism, natural selection has favored the evolution of enzymes that destroy dsRNA on contact. The best known class of this type of enzymes is Dicer. It is hoped that broad-spectrum anti-virals could be synthesized that take advantage of this vulnerability of double-stranded RNA viruses.[14]

Dicer, wikipedia:

Dicer facilitates the activation of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which is essential for RNA interference. RISC has a catalytic component Argonaute, which is an endonuclease capable of degrading messenger RNA (mRNA).

Also apparently free floating RNA is a signal to start clotting.
