Yep. Levine's opinion of using the term "front-running" like that is made more explicit here: http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-07-07/can-you-rea...

Liberately quoted:

'[...] man, remember when "front-running" meant something? [...] But then came "Flash Boys," [...] And now, basically any time anyone trades on public information before someone else, it's "front-running," [...]'

Perhaps it's time to start calling what Michael Lewis mislabels "front-running" as Lewis-running.
