That, also, would be incorrect. The original major theory paper did the opposite: Nevill Gonzalez Szwacki, Arta Sadrzadeh, and Boris Yakobson predicted a stable B₈₀ fullerene cage in 2007, calling it an unusually stable boron cage and saying it was likely to self-assemble under proper conditions. What later theory challenged was not whether a B₈₀ cage could exist at all, but whether the soccer-ball B₈₀ buckyball was the lowest-energy structure. Then, of course, accuracy was sacrificed in the name of clicks.
