This specific quote doesn't say discovered, though. It says that no one had been there before, which implies that the people who are already there are no one.

    Sure. But text contains more than just the words on the page.

    Okay yeah, but this specific text is talking about a place no one has been that's already populated, not the general concept of discovery.

    Like if I say "I've discovered David Lynch", that doesn't imply that anyone other than me hasn't seen Twin Peaks. If I say "I've been watching a director that no one has ever heard of before, his name is David Lynch", I'm just wrong.
