I agree it sounds pedantic, but think about how muddled discussions areabout what "object-oriented programming" means. "real-time" is a well-established term and actually means something really specific. Diluting it doesn't benefit anyone.

So there can only be one meaning? No different meaning depending on the context? ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time

I'd say this is real-time in the context of the interwebs, against the usual request-response cycle.
