Oh FFS, the computer did not crack the "puzzle". Mathematicians worked out how to reduce a near infinite calculation to something finite, and then programmed the computer to do that checking.
The quotation from Parker gets it exactly right: "The computer did the heavy-lifting, but it was the insight and creativity of its human programmers which made it possible."
Even more, this just shows that the result is true for 2. The Erdős question requires that it be true for all N.
