No, they are saying that Pickle as it is currently designed is too powerful. Depending on the goals of Pickle, it may be possible to reduce its power by redesigning it to do no more than its goals.

And I'm saying "pickle isn't really designed to solve the problem they're saying it's bad at solving".

So If we reduce the scope of Pickle's goals then the current Pickle that meets its current goals is to strong, and could be reduced.
