RE: So When is a Direct to Disk Recording NOT a Direct to Disk Recording?

I see your point. The definition of D2D is: "the practice of recording directly to a vinyl-disc cutting lathe without first recording to magnet tape or digital storage." Clearly this does not fit the definition since they used tape, at least according to the review in Audiophila. They probably should make that clear. But I think the important thing is that it was a live performance with no "do overs", that was not altered in any way. The performers had one chance to get a given take right. Considering that so many recordings are edited, mixed and mastered these days, the technique here, though it doesn't conform to the strict definition, still has the advantage of hearing a spontaneous performance, flaws and all, without any fixing the mix.

So I agree. Advertisers should be completely truthful and transparent about process. But also, both digital and analog have made such advances, recording techniques have so improved, that none of this should be really important. A great recording, no matter the source, is still a great recording and worthy of the attention of anyone who cares about sound.
