"Idiomatic" is idiomatic usage for "wrong".

What? In this context, idiomatic just means the kinds of expressions that native speakers would use. (The term also applies to programming languages.)

By definition, native speakers aren't wrong. If your model doesn't match observed reality, it is the model that's at issue, not reality.
