Yeah, I'm familiar with the mistake you're talking about. But I'd wait until someone makes a faulty conclusion based on that mistake before correcting them, rather than judging by whether they jumped through the right semantic hoops.
If someone has the wrong understanding, they'll make a mistake eventually.
