Sloppy use of language. The by far most probable case given all the priors available. And, in the same spirit of clarity, I'd throw a small bet on P/=NP precisely because of the very long odds, and insist on being paid in gold because in the case of a constructive proof I wouldn't expect to find anything in my bank account for long. Or anyone's.
