Asa cum s-a dovedit despre "confirmarea de catre NASA a calculelor baiatului" ca este falsa, poate intreaga poveste este inventata.

In topicul respectiv de pe Cloudy Nights, in al doilea post, e descris un caz similar al unei descoperiri astronomice facute de un copil, descoperire care (zice cel ce posteaza) s-ar fi dovedit a fi o inventie:

Looks like journalists have checked their story as well as 2-3 years ago when a French teenager reported discovering a comet (around Easter with a 4.5" he got at Christmas) and had a "certificate of discovery" from Nasa.

Lots of coverage on regional and even national media.

Of course, very little post-game analysis from the media when it was found out the kid had not seen a thing, that NASA is not the Minor Planet Center and that he had just fooled the "cr&#232;me de la cr&#232;me" of investigative journalism.
