That's... gibberish.
Anything you can do to verify a paper, you can do to verify the same paper with all citations scrubbed.
Whether the citations support the paper, or whether they exist at all, just doesn't have anything to do with what the paper says.
Whether the students directly used LLMs or just read content online that was produced with them and cited after just shows how difficult these things made gathering information that's verifiable.
