"[massive deficiency] isn't a flaw of the program because it's designed to have that deficiency"
it is a problem that it plagiarizes, how does saying "it's designed to plagiarize" help????

The normal way to reproduce information which can only be found in a specific source would be to cite that source when quoting or paraphrasing it.
I thought Penrose was a smart physicist, the hell is he doing peddling this.
Simply asking questions would be SAQing off, which is totally different.
The article is very poorly written, but here's an explanation of what they're saying. An "inductive Turing machine" is a Turing machine which is allowed to run forever, but for each cell of the output tape there eventually comes a time after which it never modifies that cell again. We consider the machine's output to be the sequence of eventual limiting values of the cells. Such a machine is strictly more powerful than Turing machines in that it can compute more functions than just recursive ones. In fact it's an easy exercise to show that a function is computable by such a machine iff it is "limit computable", meaning it is the pointwise limit of a sequence of recursive functions. Limit computable functions have been well studied in mainstream computer science, whereas "inductive Turing machines" seem to mostly be used by people who want to have weird pointless arguments about the Church-Turing thesis.
