As one of the people featured in that article, I would agree with you. A lot of what the industry calls 'teen entrepreneurs' are teens first, entrepreneurs second. That is to say, the industry collectively cuts teen entrepreneurs slack because they're teens, which is counterproductive not only the industry but to the individuals themselves.
The less popular alternative definition and the one I strive to achieve is an entrepreneur who is also a teen. And in this case, when they do something that deviates from the standard entrepreneur, there isn't the excuse of 'oh--that's okay--he's a teen!!11'
Although that doesn't mean I won't reap the rewards of starting out early. :)
