While that's interesting it certainly isn't poor or at this stage compelling evidence for a later date:
"So, in my opinion, the way the staurogram is used in P66 still seems to me to suggest a 3rd century date. But, as I say, Nongbri’s full case deserves to be considered. I was particularly impressed with his reference to the shape of the pages in P66 as aligning more with the “squarish” shape of manuscript pages in the 4th century. (But those “squarish” pages of 4th century manuscripts tend more to be skin, not papyrus, which may, or may not, count against Nongbri’s argument.)"
And the post itself acknowledges the c. 200AD date as the commonly accepted date at present (citing Novum Testamentum Graece 28th Ed.). Of course with new research and knowledge this could change in the future, but right now it hasn't. There are other points of view - just as there should be in an academic field such as this - but so far that's all they are. Dating ancient Greek texts by Palaeography is seen to be the most accurate method at present. History is always being revised Min, so while that discussion is certainly interesting and may open the door for further understanding of when this manuscript was written, at the moment it does little more than to offer a fresh perspective on how to treat ancient writings.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
