It seems weird you asked that since I just said where, explicitly. This part of the conversation feels tedious and unnecessary. The precise meaning of “anyone” being used by you & the article is pretty irrelevant.
> I’m not that optimistic that anybody can do what you describe.
You’re right, I disagree. I’m sorry for your pessimism. My children can and do lookup formulas on Wikipedia and code them, it’s not hard, if you care to try. I understand if you feel it is too difficult. FWIW, that’s precisely what the post we’re commenting on is aiming to help curious and optimistic people with. Maybe consider how it might be able to help your situation rather than criticize? Everyone can do fizzbuzz too, it’s existence doesn’t prove anything.
