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?"


Even in papers the images are already retouched. Compare the image on Katie Bouman's laptop and there left image from Paper

Katie Bouman's image is sharper and includes more details.
