I interpreted it the other way around.

We can think of a solution space, with potentially many good solutions to the vision problem, and we can, in science fiction-like speculation, that the other solutions will be very different and surprise us.

Then this experiment shows its solution is the same we already knew, and that's it.

Then there aren't many good potential solutions, there is only one, and the ocean of possibilities becomes the pond of this solution.
