No, they're equating _Turing completeness_ with _might not terminate_. CEL, Expr, Rego, and other languages like them are intended to guarantee to complete. You can't do that cleanly with a Turing complete language.

Right but "guaranteed to terminate" is not a useful property. You could write a program that terminates... after a billion years.
