Who wrote the crap DYK lead for this article? Very poor grasp of reality there!

Yes, it is not a very good hook. Here is the history:
[4] move to prep. Thereafter the original hook apparently was used instead. I don't know when that substitution occurred.
The original nominator was not the author of this article, nor were the other folks involved. They are unlikely to see your comments here. You may get a better response if you took your complaint to
Wikipedia talk:Did you know (but I would lose the "crap" in your post), as it seems like the folks who run DYK selected the wrong hook.
