Much like you can search the internet until you find a source that agrees with you, you can select a set of papers that "confirm" a particular viewpoint, especially in developing fields of research. In this case, the selected papers all support the view LLMs "know what they know" on some internal level, which iiuc is not (yet?) a consensus viewpoint (from my outsider perspective). But from the list alone, you might get that impression.
