OP of this post here. Not sure why you're downvoted and tried to upvote it to rebalance.

I also realized after reading the article for the second time that it did not say that PLR is TC's author directly, but rather that it is unclear if he is.

I made a mistake while first posting as my reading made me believe he's the author of TC. I tried to point it out here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11382412

Additionally, Matthew Green's twitter also further reinforced that belief. However it is too late for me to change the title but I'm not sure what I would even change it to. After all, it seems his original work is the foundation of TC (which you can argue to be different, but the title question remains).

Edit: @matthew_d_green's twitter has also published corrections at this point. However when I first learned about the post I only saw his initial tweet. It's a shame that I didn't realize that PLR is actually not the author/maintainer, tho.

Thanks to you and lvs. At least I see the title was just changed to the original article's from the linkbaity one to which I've complained. Now it's finally

"He Always Had a Dark Side"

I'm not sure if that accurately reflect why this is relevant either. I think it is fairly significant that PLR is very much connected to TC (and it is suspected that he is involved with TC financially).

I do not have a better title suggestion at this point, however.

But this means absolutely nothing.
