I have a hard time charitably interpreting this comment. Care to explain?

Generally, you get a lot of skepticism when you see an article about high schooler or teenager inventing or discovering something. This is not completely invalid because there have been lots of cases in the past where things like this are just fluff pieces and not actually real breakthroughs, more of a feel good thing. Add onto that that she’s a girl and Mexican and you get even more detractors of the shiftier variety.

  I've seen a number of "child invents thing" news stories where the supposed invention was entirely bogus. For example, one widely circulated story in the late 2000s involved a young student in Nepal inventing a solar cell made out of human hair. Their supposed invention made no technical sense, and no one was able to replicate their results.

  Nevermind the number of student projects where the parent or other family member did all of the work and the student is essentially a booth attendant.

  Pangram does not work reliably on single, short sentences.

    Conveniently, there was more than a single short sentence to run it on.

      Apologies, I misunderstood your comment and did not realize it was referring to the original article, rather than its grandparent comment.

    Can confirm this wasn’t AI generated. (And for what it’s worth, it’s a strange allegation.)

This sounds like a cool science fair project being blown out of proportion by the media.
