Let’s say that in some obscure corner of the world there’s a freakishly intelligent child that reads 100 papers from sci-hub and arxiv every day and keeps doing this until she’s 40.   Her comprehension is high and her reasoning unmatched.  She sees how to apply these models within the fields where they were proposed and in others and can synthesize high-quality engineering solutions at will.

Has she stolen something?  sci-hub did the distribution, so it is not technically her copyright violation.

Let's say that she was not a free agent but birthed and raised by an autocratic leader (e.g. PRK, CCCP, Russia, ???)...

Does that change anything?  I can't say.  Splitting hairs can be such hard work!  But apparently that makes it good (necessary) work!
