Your sources are in error. Anyone can set up a web page which says anything,
and in this case you have pages repeating misinformation the authors
presumably obtained from other sources on the Internet, such as the
newsgroups where this misusage occurs. Doubtless there are web pages about
kidnappings by flying saucer which are about as reliable as the ones you
list.


Indeed, you can find a large number of supposedly-authoritative sources
about photography repeating the tale about light meters being calibrated
to 18% gray -- the fact that they aren't and never have been doesn't seem
to stop people from believing it.
