It could also that those 31% of articles have bad metadata, odd titles
which don't trigger the intended audience, are in languages most
people don't know how to read, etc.  Don't get me wrong, they very
well could be superfluous in the grand academia scheme - but there
could easily be other reasons why those articles haven't found their
readers.

The article provides important data.

The major finding is how many scientific articles exist at the moment
- 80 million.

The second finding is that 31% of all articles are vain - no one is
interested in them.

I also reserve a question. The author claims that if the Sci-Hub
server is discovered, the problem is resolved. Is it that difficult to
discover it?
