Nakamoto's technical breakthrough enabled Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus in an asynchronous environment with an open network, which any node can join or leave at any time. We didn’t know how to do this before. So this algorithm greatly expanded the scope of what we can do with decentralized systems, and I think the substance of the sentence holds.
However, you could rephrase as follows: “...how it cracked the Byzantine Generals Problem, an important problem in computer science whose novel solution enabled the entire field of blockchain research.”
