It disperses the oil, it emulsifies it and allows it to be diluted into the water column. Of course you're going to get dropplets of oil sinking deeper into the water, that's the whole point, as it's a lot less damaging than having a thick slick on the surface.

The fact that a
lot of people don't fully realize what the solution is, is what makes it news?
(I haven't seen the reporting in question so I don't know how bad it is... but...)
