The page says right at the very top that this is about tricking the line counter.

notinventedhear is not disputing the actual page when they say "There is still one line of code." Nor do they appear to be objecting to the title, because they're quoting part of the actual page and re-explaining it even though the page already does so.

This seems like pretty strong evidence to me that they missed the point; they missed the part about tricking.

It's not that I don't agree with what they said, it's that what they said was already thoroughly covered in the linked page, right up front and in more detail. If they understood that, then why did they even make a comment like that?
