Why do you think a random image on a laptop is "the original" rather
than some work-in-progress image?

What do you even mean by "the original?" EHT made images on four
different days, each processed independently by four different teams.
Which is "the original?"

The paper at
https://iopscience.iop.org/article/1...41-8213/ab0e85
gives an _overview_ of the imaging process.
