I think the author addressed this?

> The other ambiguity is what we mean by UML. First of all, UML consists of over a dozen different diagram types. I still see people regularly use sequence diagrams. Second, there’s many different ways people use UML diagrams. Martin Fowler, a prominent figure in both the UML and Agile worlds, identifies three types of uses: sketching, blueprinting, and programming.

Then they talk explicitly about blueprinting.

Yup, and the only UML book I ever bought and used, UML Distilled, was written by Fowler and Kendall Scott. It's a slim book, and notably says little to nothing about UML as a CASE tool. There's definitely nothing about any specific program for generating code, and not much about generating diagrams from code, either.
