Yes, in both cases, the Doppler and the transit method, it’s best to have a large mass close to the star and its orbital plane aligned near earth’s point of view. But I think what this article is saying is that it’s “mysterious” that they found an exoplanet so close to the exoplanet-brown dwarf dividing point of 13 Jupiter masses—when there is nothing actually preventing it. The only question is if deuterium fusion is occurring. And that in itself probably has some grey areas in terms of mass. So the only mystery is, “we don’t know which way to call it”.

The object is not mysterious. It is doing quite well, and knows what it is. We are having trouble understanding what it is, because it doesn’t fit into any of our convenient categories.
Humans seem to do this a lot.

the mysterious object . . . orbits its parent star roughly every three years Here on Earth, the kids come by far more frequently for cash, or to crash in the basement…
