That is a good point I hadn't considered.

I think, charitably, what might have happened here is:

1. Author left out the diagnostic step that restoring the connectivity didn't fix the robot, because it didn't work.

2. Author did the technical analysis mentioned (there is a repository attached. I haven't verified that it actually has the level of technical analysis indicated).

3. Author took some creative liberties (possibly involving some AI-assisted punching-up) when writing the blog post story to make it more compelling in a way that made it feel a bit off and left me and others questioning its veracity.

Yeah I agree this seems most likely. I get the impression the author is not a frequent writer, so "hey LLM turn this draft into a blog post" seems the most likely scenario.

Skimming the post and skipping past the fluff, I thought it was an interesting situation and bit of debugging.
