I may only be a "techbro", but when I come across an unexploded mine, I generally don't wait for "peer-reviewed" confirmation that mines were laid in the area before suggesting to my family that they not step on it. Even if the mine is probably harmless. Yet another ill-informed ivory tower fluff piece (aka rant).
