why do people in the ethereum community throw around the phrase "turing complete" with such abandon? can't you just say that you can create smart contracts with contingent on conditions? I don't see what this has to do with a turing machine besides the fact that you can script if-else in a contract?

It is arguably a flaw to write contracts in a turing complete language.
