No, that‘s not the issue. If you look at https://www.claymath.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/navierst..., second page, you will see an option C is one of the four that is asked to be solved. And that option is the one that allows for an external force, which is what OpenAI solved. There is no question that OpenAI solved what the Clay institute is looking for. But that specific option C isn’t what the larger math community cares about, it’s a pretty niche case

I think GP's point is that if the larger math community doesn't care about option C, Fefferman shouldn't have given that option in the first place.

I think you are agreeing with me? My point is that "the larger math community" failed to set the bounds of the problem correctly.
