Are we sure they verified the claims in that JSON Web Token?

The article is about how JWT agrees with independent Hubble telescope measurements. Both disagree with a 3rd measurement that theoretically should be in agreement. Therefore, the theory is obviously wrong/incomplete in a measurable way.

It matches what we’ve seen from Hubble for some time. JWT verified Hubble.

Is this a comment on how one must use Javascript to program the JWST?

Did anyone ever really think we had a correct understanding of the universe?
