You have conflated the two uses of the word "they" in the gpp. And you are maddeningly close to having your pedantry card revoked pending discovery that you are in fact a native english speaker: so consider yourself on notice, [as they say](they refers to Steven Coldbear). Let's begin.
>>>As they say: Quantity has a quality all its own.
The word "they" occurred twice in the gpp. The first time was in reference to "The guys at NASA who came to TX/RX". The second occurrence of the word "they" occurred in the phrase "As they say" which is an idiom, or a turn of phrase [as they say](they refers to "people who use idioms"). Therefore it clearly was not referring to the only other use of the word "they".
A native english speaker would know this...but maybe you aren't a native english speaker! Watch your posts friend, maybe spice them up with some "ethnic" flair. Also, do not get into a land war in Asia, [as they say](they refers to the writers of The Princess Bride, as they wish).
