I would agree, and that is a perfect illustration of the difference 
between a term of Art and a generic, descriptive use of a term.  As a 
generic descriptive term (to one who is not aware of its meaning as a 
term of Art) "linked data" may suggest *any* form of connected data -- 
such as database tables that are connected.  But within a specific 
communities the term may have a significantly more constrained meaning 
as a term of art.
