Did you really get other results, or did you get papers that were still accurately described by the editorialized titles? On the one I looked up, the author and publication date were the same, and it really was about “the repeated survival of systems never intended to work [under the more extreme than designed conditions they were subjected to]” even if the actual title wasn’t that spicy.
Meme title: “Preliminary analysis of unexpected wobble in a rigidly non-wobbling system”
Actual title: “Analysis of the dynamic response of a supersonic inlet to flow-field perturbations upstream of the normal shock”
The design of these shock-position control systems requires knowledge of the shock-position dynamic response to perturbations in the inlet.
They need to control the position of the shockwave in the inlet ducts of supersonic craft using variable geometry ducting. To have precise control they need to understand how the unintended wobbling of the non-wobbling system affects the shockwave.
I also looked three of them up on the NASA Technical Report Server and got other results.
Edit: titles are funny, papers are real

Oh shit, i didn’t consider that… I’ll look again later tonight. I wanted to check out the wobbly one. lol

Seems to check out.
Haha that rocks, thank you for pulling through as well!!
