Disputed The sentence appears verbatim in the abstract on the Andersen Lab page for *Crits Christoph et al., Cell 2024*, and that page credits a 22-author paper that includes Zach Hensel; because this is a multi-author article rather than a single-author statement, I can’t verify it as a single-author quote.
