Responding to the fallout from the Navier–Stokes 'solved' rumor, Sebastien Bubeck clarified that the leaked screenshot was him reaching out to Levent to coordinate releases with good intentions, and that he never asked for Levent to be removed from authorship of his own work — he only learned on a call with Tristan that the team had solved Euler but not Navier–Stokes. Daniel Mac8 adds an observation: it was the rumor itself that motivated Bubeck to try — and succeed — a lesson in the power of beliefs.
