Adding to what o_e_l_e_o said above, I will only give 2 numbers for comparison.
If I give you 12 words (A,B,C,...,L) and ask you to put them in the correct order, then you have 479001600 possible combinations.
However BIP39 consists of 2048 words. So, If you want to guess 12 words out of the 2048 and try to arrange them in the correct order gives you 5,271,537,971,301,488,476,000,309,317,528,177,868,800 possible combinations.
The experiment was rediculous to say the least. It could be much more intuitive if the title was "Don't scramble your 12-word seed phrase and rely on this as a backup".
