Presumably to get a railcard discount one needs to buy from a ticket

You can buy online (destination code 0035 for Z1-6) or from a
machine, but you have to carry a valid appropriate railcard with
you on the day.

Presumably only online from TfL? Not that I can find any such facility of
the TfL web site. How would one pick it up anyway? I can't see how one
would buy it online from FCC or another TOC. As I'm not on a day trip I
can't buy a Cambridge-London travelcard.

No, you presume wrong - Roland's referring to buying one from one of the
online rail booking systems (tickets for which can be collected from
National Rail ticket machines which are hooked into the system). Given that
you can buy one from an NR ticket machine anyway, there's no real need to
buy it online.
