If you check hacker news and reddit threads from the original posting, that note wasn't on the article when it was originally posted. It was only added later, but apparently still before anyone archived it.
Edit: I'm mistaken, however I'll say what I said then again:
The note does nothing to show that he actually understands the statements he's making. The note gets the definition of turing completeness wrong too.

If you have a link proving that, I would love to see it. I completely believe you that it was added later, as it's my own recollection that there was no note.
But regardless, it doesn't change the fact that Zed wrote as if didn't know what he was talking about.
If only there were a machine with which we could go way back:

Yes, that is kind of funny way of saying that there's no reason why Python 2 and Python 3 can't coexist other than the Python project's incompetence and arrogance. Obviously it's theoretically possible to run Python 2 in Python 3, but until they do it then they have decided to say that Python 3 cannot run one other Turing complete language so logically Python 3 is not Turing complete. I should also mention that as stupid as that sounds, actual Python project developers have told me this, so it's their position that their own language is not Turing complete.
