That's not how I read it. To me is seems that all the hedging has to do with making sure they don't imply that all patents *on computers* are invalid. Just those moving an abstract idea into software.
Also, none of it says something is patentable, merely leaves it outside the area they mark "definitely not patentable".
But IANAL etc.
