No, the other guy is right. Technically the definition of real-time can have a lot of leeway. Here's the paper linked in the article. Note how the authors never define what they really mean by real-time. They even make statements like "runs 1.9 times faster than real-time". They certainly imply your definition, but there's plenty of wiggle room to say "Well technically, I wasn't lying"
