You didn't ask for clarification on which meaning was used or even bother to lookup the term on your own first. I fail so see how providing you with the correct meaning is "jumping down your throat".

Not only have I never heard that definition used, I don't see how that definition makes any sense in context. The older, more commonly used meaning is clearly the one being used here.
