You misquoted it, the original quote is "This is the first demonstration that primordial molecules, simple amino acids, spontaneously form peptides, the building blocks of life, in droplets of pure water. This is a dramatic discovery." The Miller experiment wasn't the first to discover them in droplets of pure water, miller was the first to discover that primordial molecules, simple amino acids, spontaneously form peptides.
