Good catch! I read that paragraph the same way and I believe it is a typo. I've left a comment on the medium article asking the author to clarify that section.
If you don't mind me asking, what is so off-putting about these types of mistakes? I'd like to do more personal and professional technical writing similar to this but I find it a bit daunting, especially when I consider that my audience could know much more about a subject than I do. Do you have any suggestions on how I could or should write articles that may contain errors so I don't upset readers?
