And the actual title of the study is 'Effect of Time-Restricted Eating on Weight Loss' which describes a concept that is basically the colloquial definition of intermittent fasting.

The popular term 'intermittent fasting' usually describes time restricted eating, with a fasting period usually between 16-20 hours.

Sorry, no. Whether it was always the definition or not, having a daily window to eat that is generally much shorter than normal is called intermittent fasting.

Intermittent fasting has no strict minimum that you have to fast, it can be 10-12 hours and still be intermittent fasting.

By that definition everyone who sleeps engages in intermittent fasting.

Time restricted eating/feeding is just a special case of intermittent fasting, no?
