,, because it would remove the existing guarantee that the runtime of all scripts can be determined and limited statically and because it wouldn't actually increase the utility of the system.''
While most of what you write is true (and I believe that the article was written in bad faith), as the article uses state changes in the Turing machine as Bitcoin transactions, it is trivial to statically check the runtime of a state change itself. Whether it's a useful addition to Bitcoin or not is another question though.
