I guess I could see your interpretation, but it requires that you ignore all of the context of the paper. For instance, you take distribution to equal histogram. This may make sense in some contexts, but here it's absolutely not true; the values are supposed to be taken independently from some probability distribution.

Pro tip: if you think you've spotted a major problem in the first line of an abstract, maybe give the author the benefit of the doubt. Especially if you're not familiar with the field.
