Comment (by ppurka):

 The statement above it says
 {{{
 Thus, solving the solving a generalization of the game of "20
 questions" is equivalent to determining `A_2(n,d)`! Using
 Sage, you can determine the best known estimates for this number in
 2 ways:
 }}}
 And then it goes on to talk about `linear_code_bound` and other stuff,
 which you have now fixed. The problem is that `A_2(n,d)` gives the
 estimate for nonlinear codes and not (just) for linear codes. Something
 else needs to be added to the paragraph before these functions are
 mentioned. Something which says that the bounds in (1) and (2) do not
 always give `A_2(n,d)`.... Will think of a proper sentence later. Too
 sleepy now.
