It was an honest mistake. I did not realize that a team was involved in the building. I've seen stories about single guys building a yacht out of popsicle sticks, etc. and thought from the article that this was a single maker too. Sorry if the headline was misleading.
For what it's worth, I was referring to the attempt at a justification by the guy I was replying to. I thought I'd point that out for the record now that his comment has been deleted.
