Having deep industry knowledge, a product with paying customers and spending a lot of time preparing the application and video is not "hacking" the application process. I typically think of the term in the way it's used in the question "Please tell us about the time you most successfully hacked some (non-computer) system to your advantage." I.e. something like finding a loophole. It's too bad, this diverts the discussion on that post around the use of the word, whereas there is some good stuff in there.
