That is entirely the point, it is supposed to be surprising. There are fragments of circumstantial evidence for some interesting computer science problems e.g. systems that demonstrably imply transitive closure algorithm performance that can’t be remotely replicated by anything in literature.
The ability of someone to imagine the existence of things they are unaware of has no bearing on their existence. You could say the same of a lot of the classified materials science that underpins a lot of US weaponry hardware for which there is ample circumstantial evidence. No one is going to be talking about it on HN.
