I remember this too, it was years and years ago (I almost want to say 2010-2015). Can't find anything searching for it

You helped me narrow it down. I expect Adrian Thompson's research from the 90s, referenced in this Wikipedia article is what you're thinking of.

Yes! Exactly this thank you

For example, one group of gates has no logical connection to the rest of the circuit, yet is crucial to its function

(I should have gone with my gut, I knew it was ages ago. 30ish years by the sound of it!)

It's been found. Adrian Thompson's research from almost 30 years ago..
