The read cube link doesn't work for me.

The read cube link doesn't work for me. I kind of get the weirdness of the result and the usefulness of silanes. But nothing explains what you have to do with potassium tert-butoxide to get this to work. That may be why some comments remark on the irritation -- no specifics. If I could access the paper I probably still could not understand the process but maybe someone could translate it into lay speak. Also the potential for new chemistry seems extremely interesting but again the specifics are missing. I guess we are talking about the same old quantum mechanics, so what would be new -- some larger scale effect that no one every realized was implied by the physics? Or what?
