It seems weird to say, "Well obviously this is what this alien intellect was thinking".
That's the way we perceive things. But the article mentions many times that we probably have no idea what is the consciousness level of the Octopus, since it has more neurons in its arms than in its central brain.
I suspect the author agrees. The tone there seemed a bit facetious to me, especially given the "Good night!" addendum.
"seems" is the operative word... here and in the quote you were talking about.
