35% and 15% success rates show contact-rich manipulation remains unsolved

Reacting to robot evaluation results, chrisjpaxton argues that neither 35% nor 15% success rates come close to solving contact-rich manipulation. The teleop gap remains a key bottleneck, and recent demos shouldn't be mistaken for the problem being solved.
