I interpret it a bit differently. After all, a variable declared with var isn't really more capable of being rebound, or bound to more values, than one declared with let. However, it is possible, with var, that setting a variable in one place could change it unexpectedly in another, so Rose Noble coming out as trans could cause Jordan Peterson to also suddenly be a woman.
