No, all that shows is that they're not concerned with who provides the opinion piece. (And they shouldn't be.)
It doesn't make any sense to publish something under your name and then complain when people think you're endorsing it. If I paste a pro-Nazi editorial into my blog, should I resent being held to account for it?

That's why it's called the "Opinion section":

No. That is not a reasonable assumption. Newspapers frequently carry highly opposing pieces in their opinion sections. That's how newspapers have worked for a very long time:

The NYT has, for example, hosted Putin in the opinion section:
