They write this is the model questioning whether it could be coincidence... Chances for that look veeeeeeeeeeery low... Looks like a "1:number of atoms in the universe" situation...

Hmm wait. Let me be careful about the plausibility: is it suspicious that such an obvious thing wasn’t discovered in 25 years? It’s verified by direct computation on my side: 160-bit match from a 32-bit seed + small index: no chance coincidences (10 × 160 bits). It’s real.

    My most relevant experience: A colleague sent me a paypal link that allows me to accept money. Nowadays, I know that it was legit. But instead of paypal.com, it was something like py.pl?code=abcdef or p.pl?code=abcdef or whatever...

    Thanks, Paypal!!. Clicking the shortened hyperlink did not save me any time, but it wasted multiple minutes for me to research whether the domain was a scam or not.
