No, the argument being made was:

If A, then B.

If B, then C.

Some people insist that not C, therefore they are unknowingly implying not B.

But you have several comments dismantling an strawman version of the real argument, so it looks like you really didn't understand Z's intention.

His comment about people "failing to [in this case, understand] that note even when they do elaborate responses to [his] writing" looks dead-on.

And who are these "some people"? I don't see citations here identifying anybody.

Pro-Tip: They're straw men. Even if you find examples of people asserting that after the fact, the undentified parties asserting "Python 3 cannot run Python 2" in the way that Zed claims he's responding to, are only mentioned in this rant to make Zed look smarter than he is.

You don't need real people to build up a joke.
