This is technically correct but misleading in this context, given that it falsely implies that the original meaning (doubling transistor density every 2y) became obsolete. It did not. Please take context into account. Please.
Furthermore you're missing the point. The other comment is not just picking on words, but highlighting that people bring "it's Moore's Law" to babble inane predictions about the future. That's doubly true when people assume (i.e. make shit up) that "doubling every 2y" applies to other things, and/or that it's predictive in nature instead of just o9bservational. Cue to the OP.
(this is a lil' lemmy thread and I think everyone understands what OP had in mind)
