The author's claim is weakened slightly by the fact that Sean and Hiten were two of the people involved in coining the term (as he acknowledges) and Noah has used that term to describe himself and what he does. :P

The more interesting thing to me, honestly, is how quickly and why the term took off, rather than these definitional arguments about whether it's "BS" or not. There was about a year between the term being coined and it taking off.

The ironic thing is that all these "growth hacking is BS" just fan the flame more. Now we get to root for our favorite sports team!
