It is a pity that once the journalist hears that a computation was done "on a supercomputer" they only think of hardware, and never software. This gives the impression that all we need to have in order to do harder and harder "sums" is bigger computers. If SAGE was used this should have been said, with all due credit to its creators (and the authors of whatever constituent parts of SAGE were used in the computation).
