Who is the actual photographer of the iconic "The Terror of War" photograph, and what are the immediate implications of this ongoing uncertainty?

The Terror of War," a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph depicting a napalmed Vietnamese girl, has had its authorship questioned by World Press Photo. Initially credited to Nick Ut, a documentary raised doubts, suggesting local freelancer Nguyen Thanh Nghe took the image. World Press Photo now states they will not attribute the photo to anyone until the true photographer is identified, acknowledging this may be impossible.
