Exceptionally cynical take follows.
Teenagers who get prestigious internships often come from rich families with connections. If they're particularly affluent/connected, the intern has a problem setup for them so they can "discover" a new discovery or solution to a problem.
Not saying this is frequent, but it's frequent enough that when you see an affluent/connected gifted youngster achieve it's reasonable to be circumspect about them.

- snejj5 7y agoI think cynicism became paranoia here.
- g82918 7y agoI don't know about that. I wasn't even aware that Nasa let high schoolers do anything when I was a teen or that programs like that existed, and I even graduated my high school summa cum laude with honors in science for a paper I published in an actual journal. Either parents or schools help you with this. It isn't that cynical or paranoid.
