Is this actually third law being broken or is it that the mechanism these oddly flexing microorganisms use is not well enough understood

It seems like this article would call an F1 car with a low drag coefficient "disobeying Newton's third law"

Everytime you are asking yourself "did I just make world changing discovery, or did I miss something? " it is time to think twice about it. While the first one does happen from time to time, the latter happens much more often.

but only if they have strange elastic properties

What if they don't have strange elastic properties? Why would they have strange elastic properties? Should I assume it's more likely that they break newton's third law and have strange elastic properties than that they don't break newton's third law and don't have strange elastic properties?

I don't know how to read so I'm not clicking on the article btw
