Not really. My comment was about how I interpreted joe_the_user's statement; I can't think of a ML or CV research paper I've read to which this criticism would apply, but I definitely can think of such news articles and startup landing pages/marketing material.

I agree about random news articles / startup landing pages where the term is thrown around imprecisely. Just seemed odd to see the original comment saying it about this linked Bayesian stats article, which doesn’t suffer this problem.
