Yeah sure, I know, so I suppose they could have modified the string in memory. But he specifically says that he "hex edited the error in the memory manager itself", which makes it sound like he modified an executable. A programmer wouldn't say he hex edited a string in memory when what he meant was he wrote some code to replace the string in memory.
