This is an example of the average person and us skyscraper enthusiasts looking at buildings differently.
More likely they just didn't know, which is why CP Tower didn't come into play. To be fair, those towers are still under construction, and many if not most New Yorkers don't really know what they are. So most journalists who write these pieces will go with what's already established. Some will do better because they know better.
