According to the Encyclopedia of Parallel Computing (mentioned in one of the sibling sub-comments of my original comment), you and I are both wrong in what we consider a "race condition". Of course, whether or not the source is an authority on the subject when the popular usage of the word refers to a different concept is questionable, but there's at least a possibility that we're both wrong.

Regardless, that's still one more reason not to be unpleasant to people when correcting them - you might just find yourself in the wrong.
