By that logic, all scientific papers are useless. Every field has conferences.
Also, did you actually look at the paper? That's really what it says.

Yes, I know. You can get the light-transmitting properties for a certain region of space by observing stars in that region. You'll get depth resolution by observing stars at different distances. Thus, you know how light propagates there. If a supernova then occurs there, you can predict how light is going to transmit through that region.
