I messaged the author on Twitter and he changed the text of the article.
"Eh, you could argue it either way. Answering machines + Caller ID often used together."
"I added a line about Scream and gave "Spiderwebs" a little clarification. Thanks for keeping me honest!" + image of "Author's Note" at bottom of article.
The content of the song is that the singer just had a breakup, and recorded "a likely story" as the outgoing message on her answering machine, for the purpose of screening incoming calls. So when he calls, she won't pick up. "It's all your fault." Take it from someone who heard it over and over on the radio at the time it was released as a single.
