Of course they would want to talk about what they were looking for in the first place. See this video for a little background on their result.
FWIW, apparently the level of axion appearance or neutrino magnetic moment descrepancy that would be needed to explain the excess they find are ruled out by other experiments.
It's an honest paper--it tells the warts and all, and isn't claiming a discovery. "The excess can also be explained by β decays of tritium, which was initially not considered" But I doubt the media will get the story right.
