Except the article has a categorical statement: "The 9 lines contain all present knowledge about nature, including all textbook physics and all observations ever made."

Take something simple like "F=ma" which is in lots of textbooks. Nothing in those 9 lines seem to suggest anything that could be used to derive that.

I'm sure a domain expert, who already knows all this stuff, I'm sure they'd be useful as a memory aid to help them trot this stuff out, but do they "contain all present knowledge about nature, ..."? Not so much, if you need a ton of other knowledge to make use of them.
