No, that doesn't mean he claims he invented the internet. It means
you do not understand or choose to misrepresent plain English.

Suppose Eisenhower had said that after observing the effectiveness of

interstate
highway system. Would you say that was equivalent to Eisenhower
claiming
to have invented highways?
