Looks like a modern day connotation pegged to a 17th century word that had a different primary meaning. It's like the word "naked" used to describe the dire condition of Washington's army, which meant "ill equipped" rather than starkers. Or when Kerry went orgasmic over the Downing Street Letter's use of the phrase "fixed intelligence" using the Americanized meaning of the word "fixed," meaning "altered," as opposed to the Brit's "locked in place." Notice how Kerry slinked away when the difference was noted by the pajamahuddein?

PS ... that guy is a professor but he commited a freshman mistake in using modern-day meanings. It's like that psych doctoral candidate in Georgia who sampled college students to model how racial-based hiring decisions worked. Their "doctorates" must be issued by Charmin because that seems to be their worth given their demonstrated ignorance.
