Totally agree. That behaviour is exactly what I would expect.
All in all, I really don't get the dramatic tone in this article. It turns out that in python (as in most languages that give you access to the internals) if you mess with the internals the results are well messy. But literally nothing in this article suprised me at all.
I think they're just taking delight from being able to hijack behaviour from elsewhere in the code, using indirect means.
