Well, when you dismiss something as "just [oversimplification intended to demean an accomplishment]" it does not sound very impressive, no. But rest assured it is.

I mean, Philae was just a small probe that barely sent back some signals and grainy photos from a comet. I don't see what's so impressive about that.
