Language is used to communicate. And not needing to be absurdly verbose in everything that one says, is a virtue and a need for efficient transmission of concepts and idea.
So when someone says "Python is an interpreted language" they are pleading to an implicit preexisting shared knowledge about the nature of the most commonly found usage of the concept.
Granted, when this shared knowledge doesn't match, that's where misunderstandings can happen, but that's the nature of human language. In this case I'd be hard pressed to think that any misunderstanding could have been possible for the immense majority of people reading this.
