It seems odd to say "Mr. Turing" (referring to a period in the 1950s), given that he got his Phd in 1938. The article uses "Dr." for other people.

  A couple of days/weeks ago I saw on HN (I think) contributers saying (and agreeing) that people with PhDs in the UK don't usually use/demand the title of 'Dr.' unless they are medical doctors. It might not be a mistake by the times.
