Because, you see it is absolute absolutely mind boggling to understand how a 16 y.o. Ermira girl from the third-largest city (very small actually) in a country where mafia and government was melted together at that time (and still pretty much is), so... how this girl won a scholarship of unspecified origin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mira_Murati) which took her straight to USA, and later on landed her in a private and very expensive Ivy League university. You see, there are at least dozen people in my extended pool of contacts from that time, from this region, who have been at IoI, or IoM at the time, and won prestigious first places, and won scholarships of some sorts, and none was THAT lucky.
Of course, this may sound like a girls dream come true, but if you have even a limited insight how the Balkans operate, and particularly how Albania operated 20 years ago... And together with the fact that the present Albanian prime minister suddenly is very close to nowadays Mira, so much as to embraced OpenAI for legislation-something (https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/albania-to-sp...).
Sorry, perhaps my imagination, but this really raises a brow.
