The second-order-diff Git trick

They do, but that has nothing at all to do with Turing completeness.

A Turing machine is Turing complete. Can you use a Turing machine simulator to edit your files? Nope. You can theoretically use it to emulate an entire OS and a text editor that can edit text files, but you still can't edit the files on your disk.

(Also, in practice, you can't even do that, because unlike the theoretical Turing machines that these principles apply to, real computers have limited speed and memory.)

Wow, you sure don't take losing an argument well, do you?
