Let's say for a moment he did sponsor or vote for a bill that did

voted for a highway bill. Does that make it an honest statment for him to
say "He helped create the Interstate system"?

Granted, he could have used words more carefully: he could have said
"I sponsored a bill to fund further development of the internet" which
would have been more clear, and unassailable.

But he didn't. It may have been what he meant to say, but I guess it
didn't sound presidential enough at the time. Never the less, it
seems obvious, at least to me, that he did not intend to claim that he
had invented the internet.

I'll assail the hell out of it. What bill did he sponsor?

But you aren't who that comment was aimed at it was the aimed at the great
unwashed masses and he thought for some reason he would get away with trying
to make those great unwashed masses beleive he created the internet.
