I'm a bit confussed.

I've already posted the important details (very briefly

that the toughness was equal to or better than dragline spider silk, the strength was a lot better than silkworm silk (but not nearly as good as Monster Silk WHICH IS A LATER DEVELOPEMNT).

THe perecentage of SSP was only between 2 and 5%. BUT THAT WAS ENOUGH TO MARKEDLY IMPROVE THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. Note also that Monster Silk is a later development and of much higher strength (about 80% of spider silk vs about 50+% in the study (silkworm silk is only 40% so that's a > 25% improvement and Monster Silk is a 100% improvement)

The PNAS is on the earlyer silk and the Monster silk came later but is only 80% while the PNAS silk is equal to or better than dragline silk.
How can the PNAS silk be stronger than the later better Monster silk?
Is one only talking about the toughness and the other the strength?
