No, Tim just forgot to twist the blue knob while he was pressing the
shiny pedal on Guido's time machine.  I've made the same mistake
myself before -- the VRTM can be as inscrutable as the BDFL himself at
times.  Sadly, changing those opinions now would cause an irreparable
time paradox, the outcome of which would force Python to be called
Bacon and require you to type `albatross' instead of colons to start
every block.
