I'm not a prescriptivist when it comes to language; if a meaning evolves that's just dandy. I do think it's odd to link to a definition of a word as the author does, and then use it differently without explanation (potentially depriving the reader of some interesting insight into the phenomena under discussion, if the reasons are good). Secondly, doesn't 'misuse'really just mean 'used differently from how most people use it'? In which case, I think the descriptor probably applies, given the word's recent coinage and limited usage
