Why are you treating a random developer at a hosting company like he's the CEO? If Dreamhost gets taken to court, it's not his problem. He is just explaining what he actually does to make "unlimited" as unlimited as possible.

Company legal policies are not his domain, so it's probably a waste of effort to complain to him about it.

I see your point. But I didn't realise he was a developer, from the way he was talking, it sounded like he was in a position of authority at the company.

I see how you figured out he was an employee now, I'll be sure to do profile checks on people in the future to get a better frame of reference.

Our limits are based on policy, not numbers. The policy is (roughly) outlined at http://www.dreamhost.com/unlimited.html if you're curious.
