Since when is the fact people walk in circles when they don't have a reference point "new research"? I learned that in the Army in '94, and I learned it in the Boy Scouts in the '80s.

Maybe the research is new, but all it does is corroborate what real-world evidence already told us decades ago. The author of the article seems to be sensationalizing the matter, or maybe just such a poor reporter that she didn't bother to find out what's new about the research.
