No one “shatters,” “breaks,” or otherwise surpasses the diffraction limit. Rather, you operate in such a way that the diffraction limit does not apply.
This is not to take away from these accomplishments at all! All manner of super resolution techniques are fantastic, but they’re not violating the diffraction limit; they are violating the assumptions that go into the diffraction limit, or they are using a different definition of resolution (which is completely valid), or both.
