Someone who characterized the results the way they characterize them in this quote has learned some facts, but failed on the analysis.
It’s like a quote which says “(correct mathematical result) proves that God has a direct hand in the creation of the world”. That wouldn’t be a rationality quote just because they really did learn a correct mathematical result.
There are a lot of senses of ‘quote’ which I agree this does not fit well, but in the ‘excerpt from an interesting article’ sense I think it is, well, interesting.
