"This structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest," Watson & Crick's famous understatement in their 1953 cover letter to Nature. Does anyone have any further such examples?

Science writing has been typically passive with the utmost care not to overstate; let the results speak for themselves and all that.

Would love to read through further examples, if anyone has any. Thanks!
