I would think Occam's razor would prevail here..

Sure, ML might have discovered/invented some new tech or method that disproves all the previous established knowledge, and they are sitting on some revolutionary new product..

But is that more likely than the idea that they thought they could pull off this technological "leap" in theory, and in practice eventually realized they could not?

Well, some would argue Occam's razor would state "Lots of people who've seen the demo of the technology where impressed, maybe this means they created impressive technology"
