“Build an initial product to bring all of your insights together and test them with your target customer.”
Yeah, that initial product is the MVP.
You did, but your quote comes directly after he said:
"Once you’ve finally tested enough hypotheses to have more confidence about your product viability, then go to the next steps:"
The MVP is the next step and it distinctly different from what he calls an MTP.
An MTP is not a useable product, it doesn't have a login, stack or maybe any code at all.
This is why the article read fairly false to me, not that there wasn't the odd nugget of value, but coming up with a new MVT, is just adding to the confusion.
