I think the link (now) points to the wrong line in the source code. I found it, though.

Anyone understands why they do this?

Unsure, but thinking aloud, if a bunch of formal (ie high signal) documents say that the link in question is to do with the Epstein files, it would presumably have an effect on how search engines and LLM training runs understand the content of the link.

But why one would want to do this is beyond me -- it would, after all, be an unsavoury association.

As for why they would use such a naming scheme, I have no idea
