This show being so meta I wouldn't be surprised if they just trolled everyone this way:
- the "bring back old format" whiners with Kyle's speech from last episode leading them to believe they apologize for the new format
- the serialization fans by not finalizing the dangling subplots

"when the passcode was revealed to be "9""

C+? Come on, that "this is not South Park" monologue stole the show and trolls all those "bring back episodic South Park" whiners!

It's a MISPRINT

I never implied he was any authority. I merely quoted him and frankly it fits the recent seasons of TBBT perfectly.

Ok, so the show has officially become the typical sitcom as described by George Costanza: "every time you turn TV you see four morons sitting around whining about their dates". Way to go, TBBT. Yet another show that will reach rock bottom and will get CANCELED, not ENDED.
