I don't think that Paxman's comment was as flippant as this article is making out. If you watch the video, his comment follows Lottie Dexter vaguely waving at the graphic of code behind him in desperate attempt to describe what code actually is when she quite sure herself. What he sees is a blurry mess of code pulled from who-knows-where that blatantly isn't of any use in it's current form. I'm not trying to downplay some of the awesome things done with code in the article, but I think the comment it's based on has been misunderstood.
