It's a "highly detailed reconstruction" (bottom of TFA). Agreed that TFA is light on details and annoyingly disables text selection, which is something I haven't been annoyed by since 2007.

Using "Find" in my browser says those words are on the page somewhere but I cannot find them anywhere.

Weird. It's the last sentence in TFA.

I think it actually slipped under the ad. Using a browser with Adblock I see it.

Not only does it manually disable text selection, it also disables the right click menu and most ways of opening the dev tools... for some reason... (you can still reach dev tools using the top right menu on chrome though)

this could be said about a shocking amount of historical study

It would have been bright and shiny when new back then too
