I also had to just go to the paper. It was really difficult trying to get through the article. Needlessly hyped language like "proving lies" and hyperfixations on things like leaking boats... felt like the author was either out of their element or inexperienced with math comms. However, the article still provides a bit of context that the paper doesn't.
That said, this is honestly just a bad article that is needlessly sensationalized and fails to impart any real knowledge.
