Taken at face value, that would be sending photons to nebulas millions of light-years away, and then waiting another million+ years for them to bounce off the target and arrive back here.

At least the cockroaches will have these great space-themed calenders.

Maybe if there was a way to bounce photons off of the second half of the summary you'd have been able to read it.

Can anyone explain to me how someone would even believe this particular statement?

Sure. Think about 1 - 0.999... it gives you 0.000... = 0. You might worry about a 1 sitting out there in the "infiniteth" decimal place, but remember that you can never get there; the 1 never happens. Since 0.000... = 0 then 1 - 0.999... = 0 and 0.999... = 1. Nothing fancy.
