These headlines usually work by the dept asking a researcher for a 10 sentence summary of their work. Someone in the dept summarizes that to 3 sentences, and sends that to the university pr dept. The university turns that 3 sentences into 1 and that's what's published. My take is this says more about the weird game of telephone being played than it does about the research product itself.

Yes, but it's a game of telephone that does make it annoying for HN readers to try and actually understand what's being presented, so it should be discussed and corrected if possible.

true, but if that's the case, then the game of telephone would not call (haha) into question the quality of the compiler, since the devs were not responsible for the game.
