I still don't understand.

The joke and the sometimes valid solution are different strategies.

The joke only reminds people of the valid solution. It feels like multiple people are giving the article the briefest skim and assuming the two are the same. Perhaps focusing on the words "optional to call free" and extrapolating off that without looking at the code or properly reading the rest of the text.

Unless I'm badly missing something?
