Same with the young man who “discovered” an exoplanet on his third day of a NASA internship.
It’s incredibly cool but really shouldn’t be read as an indicator of knowledge or skill of the discoverer.
Its luck. Right place, right time, right dataset on front on them.
They were able to follow instructions however, something not every 17 year old can do
