I too spent the whole time scrutinizing the syntax and ignoring the values, since this is an intro to the language and not to Bill’s dotfiles. I was ultimately unable to deduce the presumed syntax error and independently came to the same misconclusion.
It can't be a syntax error though as it evaluates successfully as demonstrated by the right-hand side.
In general, if you think that someone’s claimed experience doesn’t make sense, you’re probably just missing information.
On small viewports, the “right-hand side” is down page and off screen, and the instructions I’m following reference only tabs visible above.
