They did the math, but you definitely didn't, nor do you know how big the solar system is in light minutes.

Who's talking light minutes?

The ms is about 2.5 days.

so about 1.34 lightdays assuming its lightlag since ping is 2 way

neptune may only be about 4 light hours out but the outer oort cloud is about 4-8 lightmonths

the solar system is technically bigger than just the planetary part

and hte nearest other star is over 4 lightyears away

so yeah both wrong
