it is very probably that using GIMP "curves" they would be able to bring a lot of details on 5MP and 10MP "blind" images. The digital cams lack dynamic range. A "blind" dark image is very possibly somthing like this rough simplified illustration - 0 where black and 1 [out of 255] where white. To us both values look black, ie. very close to 0 vs. 255. Using a tool like "curves" one can remap 1 to say 100 while 0 is still 0 and this will frequently make a reasonable, though somewhat noisy image.
Or in other words, they judged performance of camera vs. eyes by using human eyes. It would be interesting if they send the images to, for example, OCR.
