In this interview of Mary Moorman, the interviewer asks her if her Polaroid at the retro-fit light kit that was available as an accessory on Polaroids. She said she didn't know. Then, he asked her if she recalls what speed film she used, and she said she didn't know, just whatever they gave her at the camera store. But then, he said that because of the high quality of the Moorman Photo, as Polaroids go, that it is now known that her camera must have had the retro-fit light kit (which Mary did not recognize or know anything about) and that she used an unusual, atypical film, with a speed of ASA3000. And again, it was because of the unusually good quality of the image. 

He was obviously trying to rationalize the "extreme high quality of the photograph" with her taking it, but what if she didn't take it?
