You still understand, though, that the colloquial definition being used here is what you're referring to as a "data race." Your comments are disingenuous in that I believe you know that you're being pedantic, I just don't know why you've brought it up the multiple times.

I didn't realise something as specific as 'race condition' could have a colloquial definition, but ok.

For many terms of (programming) jargon, there's a strict academic definition, perhaps as defined in a paper in which the term was originally introduced, and the usage of the word in the broader (programming) community.

The latter is the colloquial definition.
