Actually....there is quite a bit "New" to see here, with no lightning, or puddles. This Data is extremely important to those who are curious about early life on Earth, and may very well lead to significant changes in how we classify Biology on some levels, as well as help science trace the tree of life to its roots. Just because some do not wish to delve into the knowledge, does not make it irrellevant, nor does it diminish the importance of discovery.
The Mimivirus has already changed the understanding of base level life in many scientific circles, as it does not fit neatly into what was considered "Alive" by science in the past, yet it cannot be easily classified as non-living. It has also forced those with far more complete understanding of Biology than us, to rethink where we came from. As I personally depend on these people to explain the fundamentals of life, and am extremely curious about where we came from, I might find this sort of information fascinating while others are bored, or decide to ignore it due to its implications .
