They actually argue against two claims in the article, one of which is the correct definition of the term. Immediately after quoting the definition used by the video, the article states that they’ve flagged the video, which to me indicates it was an important part of why they flagged it.

As PolitiFact states: > [T]he definition read by Siri [...] includes an important word that the narrator glosses over, namely "generally." In other words, the one-sentence definition Siri provided is not a closed answer. It’s a general guidance that includes exceptions. PolitiFact does discuss why the NBER definition is more nuanced than the 2-quarter heuristic, but this is mere exposition behind their main point.
