That would be a feat of engineering. Not astronomy

Isn't there enough credit to go around?

BTW, the people who work on these details inside astronomy are called "instrumentalists", whether they're scientists or engineers.

No, and it’s not a diminishing comment to suggest otherwise. It’s a great achievement. It’s not reshaping astronomy at this time.

I was hoping you would be interested in how the actual astronomy community thinks about it.

Few of them would agree with your statement.

I was hoping you wouldn’t throw in a passive aggressive sleight and cite some evidence if you’re saying in factually incorrect.
