The author seens to misunderstand the purpose of code review. The purpose is, literally, review the code. Review means basically to think/talk about something again in order to make or not changes on it. When you review something (including code), you are basically asking for yourself: "Should it be changed or it's okay to stay like this?"

In order words, the purpose of code review is to or not ask for changes on the code.

> Review means basically to think/talk about something again

The rest is not part of the definition; critics don't review movies in order to change them.

But just accepting that at face value, making code more readable is a "change." I don't know what you're trying to say here.
