It only says that to people who know enough about computers to assume that when something is called 32-bit, it's probably not also 64-bit.
Your example should have been "it's the bread" to match the wording of the article.
Imagine I asked you to go to the store and get whatever as long as you come back with bread and meat. You get a plain baguette and a ham-on-baguette sandwich. When you return, you remove two identically wrapped items of similar size and weight from the grocery bag. I point to one of them and ask "what's that?". You, thinking that it's the plain baguette, answer "it's the bread".
When I discover that it's a ham sandwich, I could be gracious and say that you made an error of omission. After all, it does have bread. And despite believing it to be just bread, you technically didn't say it wasn't also the meat.
Or I could be ungracious and belabor how wrong I think you were.
