Probably the reporter fault, but this sounds like he has no clue how the system even works for real

Well, he got his info through a game of Chinese whispers. He heard it from a Palantir spokesman, who got a brief from Palantir PR, who got a brief from the Director of engineering, who got it from meeting with a dozen scientists and engineers. So you can see that along the way, stuff got simplified and bastardized to the utmost.
