Yes, I know, but realistically, many (most?) people just want brief, general information, which is what the introductory paragraph is for, no? So I’d argue it should say “hypothesised” or “predicted” somewhere in the, ideally, first sentence.

It does say it it is a “model” and “predicted” in the first paragraph.

Okay, might have worded tat better. It says “The radiation was not predicted by previous models” and “is predicted to be extremely faint”, not “it is predicted to exist” - and also “[it] is many orders of magnitude below […]” which sounds like a statement of fact. I realise this may be nitpicky but I don’t know if people who don’t know anything about the subject would interpret that as “we don’t really know if it even exists yet”.

It is difficult to be certain about unmeasured things. It would help everyone if those who don’t know anything about the subject would understand that science is about approaching clarity and the scientists are so zoomed out on some things that it isn’t always as clear as anyone wants. But scientists are still trying to answer the question. They are trying to help.
