No, he does. He even calls his cataloging of different runs of CA permutations his "discovery" as in "when I discovered".

I took that as talking about the moment he discovered rule 30 (just like I discovered it myself at one point in my life). It doesn't sound like he's claiming the be "the discoverer" of it.

On the other hand, he might very well be the actual discoverer, anyway.

He was the first to describe this form of CA and systematically investigate the results of the different rule sets.
