No one confused the hamiltonian with the lagrangian (not even you,

Eric confounded both, wrote H = L in previous message and did incorrect
claims about a blog article. You also did :-)

Eric isn't a physicist so don't expect him to be precise as one.

The Hamiltonian is identical to Jacobi's integral (sometimes called the
"energy function") in value. The former is expressed in terms of position
and canonical momentum whereas the later is expressed in terms of position
(q) and its first time derivative (dq/dt)
