Rebuttal: A Single Agent Would Need ~a Year to Generate the Tokens for the Proof

In the debate over the agent swarm's contribution, the author calls the claim that the swarm contributed only 10% "plainly false."
His simplest reason: even if a single sequential agent were 100x more efficient than the swarm (which it isn't), it would still take roughly a year to generate the tokens necessary to come up with the proof. Without the swarm, the proof wouldn't exist.
