A traditional Turing machine doesn’t make a distinction between program and data.
Well, a regular Turing machine does, it has a tape and a state machine and the two are totally different.
I guess you mean a traditional universal Turing machine doesn’t distinguish between “Turing machine I’m simulating” and “data I’m simulating as input to that Turing machine”.
