A steak cut from a loin wouldn't be called a porterhouse steak these
days. Back in the old days, you would be able to have something like a
strip steak or a filet but probably not a porterhouse. You'd really need
a piece of machinery capable of cutting through a bone cleanly.

I know what a porterhouse steak is. My point is that the steak as
described in the article about the origin of the name "porterhouse"
would not be considered to be a porterhouse steak in modern times.
A porterhouse steak needs to have a bone separating the loin and the
strip parts. You'd need a saw capable of cutting cleanly through the
bone and meat in order to have a porterhouse steak. That was not what
the article described.
