I would agree, except for the fact that the article claims the described function produces a high degree of randomness -- "the most random function ever" -- which makes entropy an issue. If for no other reason, it would reveal the author's familiarity with the field's terminology. Otherwise we're entitled to assume that the hyperbolic claims have no basis (which I happen to believe is the case).
I agree that the article ends up discussing hashing in a roundabout way, and randomness seems to have been dropped as a topic, but the title cries out for vindication.
