 Olcott has made it clear that he has absolutely no idea what Turing Machines are or how they work. He likes bringing them up (even insisting on calling his C programs "TMs" or "UTMs"), but there's no possibility that he will start discussing actual Turing machines. They're entirely outside of his purview.

A couple of years ago he was asked to provide Turing Machine emulator in
C. He bragged about delivering it in a few hours (which is realisting
for any decent programmer btw).
Guess what? He failed.
