Out of curiosity, I tried this same setup with `mgcv`, and was pleasantly surprised with the results. Center column: mgcv using standard fit +/- 1.96*SE, right column is using the critical value from the t-dist with n-2 df. (I didn't have the compute time to compare to other methods besides glm.nb)

By strict standards of replication, the estimated speed of light wasn't replicable based on highly inconsistent CIs, even though the initial estimates were within 1% of the modern value
