I think the journalist is summing up a conversation and NOT QUOTING ANYONE. As it isn't in quotes. That's the way attribution works in ethical journalism.No, but the idea is explicitly credited to "the design team," in an article specifically discussing an interview with only Perkins. Where else are we to expect that this phrase came from? Unless you mean to assert that the author is lying and the attribution to "the design team" is simply a falsehood.
Assigning that word as something that was explicitly stated when the author makes it clear that wasn't a word anyone said is ignoring basic English.
