First, you glazed right over the 'rigged' in hither_shore's original post. Did you just not see it or did you think it was some kind of meaningless term to be ignored? Either way, in the context of 'really stupid mistakes' it stands out.
Second, it's not very productive to be so uncharitable when reading technical work. As a reader, you can either assume 'the author is an idiot, I'm going to stop here' or 'the author has elided some details, and they will probably not be relevant later, so I will intuit what they should have said and carry on'.
In this particular case, I think it's clear that you should have interpreted 'Hilbert space of differentiable functions' as something like 'the completion of the pre-Hilbert space of differentiable functions' aka 'the smallest Hilbert space containing the differentiable functions'.
