I agree with you 100%. My objection came from your original post:

The match between the monitor and the print under one lighting condition is
indeed a metameric match. But the further statement that the monitor and
print no longer match under a different lighting condition does not
contribute anything to "a pure example of metamerism" except confusion. It
is not relevant, and should have been excluded, IMO.
