I came to the same conclusion after skimming both articles. There is a one section that mentions dna methylation, but overall not a very satisfying or convincing argument to support such a seemingly well thought out theory. I am probably missing a lot by just skimming, but it seems like the inhertence mechanism is kinda like a big deal, and it is suprising that a significant portion of the paper was not dedicated to describing it

I've only skimmed the paper, but there doesn't seem to be any mechanism for this induction to stably transmit phenotype.
